वेदान्त पारिजात सौरभ (भगवद् निम्बार्काचार्य - द्वैताद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

FOURTH CHAPTER (Adhyāya) THIRD QUARTER (Pāda) Adhikaraṇa 1 The section entitled "Beginning with light". (Sūtra 1) SŪTRA 1 "THROUGH (THE PATH) BEGINNING WITH LIGHT, THAT BEING CELEBRATED." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha It should be known that there is only one path, viz. that beginning with light. Hence through it alone the knowers go, since in the Chāndogya: "They reach the light, from light the day, from the day the waxing fortnight, from the waxing fortnight the six months when the sun moves to the north, from those months the year, from the year the sun, from the sun the moon, from the moon lightning. Then there is a Person, a non-mortal. He leads them to Brahman. Those who go through this, do not return to this human whirlpool" (Chānd. 4 15.5-6 1); in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka: "They reach light, from light the day, from the day the waxing fortnight, from the waxing fortnight the six months when the sun moves to the north, from the months the world of gods, from the world of gods the sun, from the sun light- ning. A Person consisting of mind comes and leads those who have reached lightning to the worlds of Brahman" (Bṛh. 6.2.15 2) and in other places too it is celebrated in the very same way. Vedānta-kaustubha Thus, in the previous quarter, the problems concerning a knower's departure and the rest have been considered. Now, discussions about the path through which he proceeds for attaining Brahman are being undertaken. 2 R, B 2 R, B. Quotation faulty. Vide Bṛh., p. 303. Correct quotation translated. ( 835 )
