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

[SŪ. 4. 3. 13. ADH. 5.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 851 Vedānta-kaustubha And also because the texts: "Going up through it, one goes to immortality" (Chānd. 8.6.6; Kaṭha 6.16), "This serene being, having arisen from the body, having attained the form of highest light, is completed in his own form" (Chānd 8 2.23), declare that a knower, who having come out through the vein which passes through the crown of the head, has proceeded by the path of gods, attains Brahman. SECOND OPPONENT'S VIEW (concluded) SŪTRA 13 "AND THE INTENTION OF ATTAINING (DOES NOT REFER) TO THE EFFECTED (BRAHMAN)." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "I reach the court of Prajāpati, the chamber" (Chānd. 8.14.1 ¹)— this intention does not refer to the effected Brahman, but to the Highest Self, He alone being the topic of discussion Vedānta-kaustubha An objection may be raised here: The word 'Brahman' mentioned in the text: "Leads them to Brahman (Chānd. 4.15.5) does indeed denote the effected Brahman, since in accordance with the text: "I reach the court of Prajāpati, the chamber" (Chānd. 8.14.1) a knower proceeding by the path that begins with light aims at attaining the effected Brahman. To this we reply: "The intention of attaining," i.e. the resolve for attaining, mentioned in the scriptural text: "I reach the court of Prajāpati, the chamber" (Chānd. 8.14.1), does "not" refer "to the effected" Brahman, but this intention of attaining refers to the Highest Brahman, since, as known from the text: "The evolver of name and form. That within which they are in Brahman" (Chānd. 8.14.1), the Highest alone is the topic of discussion. 1 Ś, R, Bh, Śk.
