856 VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA [sū. 4. 3 15. ADH 5.] Baladeva He takes this sūtra (sūtra 16 in his commentary) as forming an adhikarana by itself, concerned with showing the special favour shown by the Lord for the nirapekṣa devotees. "And (Scripture) shows the special (rule with regard to the nirapekṣa devotees)" That is, the general rule is that the conducting divinities lead the devotees to the Lord.
