[sū. 4. 3. 6. ADH. 5.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 845 Adhikarana 5. The section entitled "The effected". (Sūtras 6–15) FIRST OPPONENT'S VIEW (Sūtras 6–10) SŪTRA 6 "TO THE EFFECTED (BRAHMAN), BĀDARI (HOLDS SO), BECAUSE HIS GOING IS REASONABLE" Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The troupe of light and the rest leads the worshippers of the effected Brahman "to the effected Brahman", "because the going" to the effected Brahman alone is "reasonable". Vedānta-kaustubha The path beginning with light has been determined. Now the question is being determined, viz. Who are these who go through this path On the doubt, viz. whether the troupe of conducting divinities of light and the rest leads the worshippers of the effected Brahman, or the worshippers of the Highest Brahman, or the worshippers of the Highest Brahman as well as of the individual soul as unconnected with matter and having Brahman for its essence,—they lead the worshippers of the effected Brahman "to the effected Brahman", called Hiraṇya- garbha. Why? "Because his going," i.e. the going of the effected Brahman alone, occupying a particular place, i.e. his being the object to be approached, is "reasonable",—so the teacher "Bādari" thinks. COMPARISON Śaṁkara Unlike Nimbārka, he takes the view of Bādari as the correct conclusion. Literal interpretation same.
