गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

The pañca-janas here are five things beginning with prāṇa (breath), as is clear
from the words immediately following the mention of pañca-jana.
Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
The five things beginning with prāṇa are described in the following words
(Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.4.18):
prāṇasya prāṇam uta cakṣuṣaś cakṣur uta śrotrasya śrotram annasyānnaṁ manaso
ye mano viduḥ
"They know the breath of breath, the eye of the eye, the ear of the ear, the food
of food, the mind of the mind."
The objection may be raised: The word annam (food) here is included in the
Mādhyandina recension of the Upaniṣad but not in the Kāṇva recension. In the
Kāṇva recension, then, there are only four items and not five.
To answer this doubt he says:
Sūtra 13
jyotiṣaikeṣām asaty anne
jyotiṣā-by light; ekeṣām -of some; asaty -in the absence; anne-of food.
In some versions (the Kāṇva recension) the word "jyotiḥ" (light) replaces the
word "anna" (food).
Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
In the version of some (the Kāṇvas), even though the word anna is missing, the
addition of the word jyotiḥ brings the number up to five. This word jyotiḥ is found
in Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.4.6 in the words tad devā jyotiṣāṁ jyotiḥ (The
demigods worship Him, the light of lights). The word jyotiḥ appears here in both
recensions and it should be counted among the five or not as is appropriate.
