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

[SŪ. 4. 4. 4. ADH. 2.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 861 by the removal of faults. Just as water is not created by the digging of a well, only what is already existent is brought to manifestation,— for how can there be the origination of what is non-existent,—so the attributes of knowledge and the rest are manifested, and not created, through the destruction of the evil qualities, for they belong to the soul eternally." Hence it is established that having attained the Highest Brahman through the path which begins with light, the individual soul is completed in its own natural form alone. Here ends the section entitled "Manifestation on attaining" (2) COMPARISON Śaṃkara, Bhāskara and Baladeva They interpret the sūtra thus: "(The light is) the soul (viz. Brah- man), on account of context".¹ Adhikaraṇa 2: The section entitled "Seen as non-divided". (Sūtra 4) SŪTRA 4 "AS NON-DIVIDED, ON ACCOUNT OF BEING SEEN." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The freed soul realizes itself "as non-divided" from the Highest Self, which non-division is compatible with a division (between the two), since this truth is directly intuited at that time (viz. during release), and since Scripture too intuits this. Vedānta-kaustubha From the text: "Having attained the form of highest light" (Chānd. 8.12.3) and from the aphorism: "Having attained, manifesta- tion" (Br. Sū. 4.4.3), it appears as if there is an absolute difference ¹ S.B. 4.4.3, p 968; Bh. B 4.4 3, p. 242; G.B. 4.4.3.
