[SŪ. 4. 4. 22. ADH. 6.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 883 SŪTRA 22 "NON-RETURN, ON ACCOUNT OF TEXT" Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha There is no return for the soul which has attained the form of the highest light and has become free from transmigratory existence. Why? "On account of the texts": "Those who proceed by this do not return to this human whirlpool, return not" (Chānd. 4.15.6 ¹), ' "But on attaining me, O son of Kuntī, there is no re-birth" ' (Gītā 8 16 ²). Here ends the fourth quarter of the fourth chapter in the Vedānta- pārijāta-saurabha, an interpretation of the Śārīraka- mīmāṁsā texts by the reverend Nimbārka. Vedānta-kaustubha By demonstrating that the freed soul has similarity with the Lord in point of enjoyment alone, it has been shown there is no simi- larity of nature between the two. It is to be known that the freed soul, different from Brahman, has no return, "on account of texts", i e. in accordance with following scriptural and Smṛti texts: "Those who proceed by this, do not return to this human whirlpool, return not" (Chānd 4 15.6), "They attain the world of Brahman, and do not return" (Chānd. 4.15.1), "This is immortal, fearless, this is the highest abode From this, one does not return" (Praśna 1.10), ' "On attaining me, the great-souled ones who have attained supreme perfection, are not subject to re-birth, the abode of miseries and non-eternal" ' (Gītā 8.15), ' "But on attaining me, O son of Kuntī, there is no re- birth" ' (Gītā 8 16), ' "Resorting to this knowledge, they have come to attain similarity with me They are not born at the time of creation, nor suffer at the time of dissolution" ' (Gītā 14.2) and so on. The repetition of the aphorism indicates the completion of the treatise. ¹ Ś, Bh, B. ² R, B.

[SŪ. 4. 4. 22. 884 VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA ADH. 6.] It is established that the lordship of the freed soul consists in a direct intuition of the Highest Brahman, the Highest Self, the soul of all. Here ends the section entitled “Exclusive of the activities in connection with the universe (6). I bow down to the author of the aphorisms and to him who explained them, through whose grace the Vedānta-kaustubha has been churned out of the ocean of Scripture for the well-being of knowers. Here ends the fourth quarter of the fourth chapter in the holy Vedānta-kaustubha, a commentary on the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsā texts and composed by the reverend teacher Śrīnivāsa, dwelling under the lotus-feet of the venerable Nimbārka, the founder and teacher of the sect of the holy Sanatkumāra This fourth chapter entitled “The fruit” is completed.
