book, the Vedānta-sūtra, is also called Śārīraka-sūtra (sūtras glorifying the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, who has a form). Some may say that the word
ānandamaya does not refer to the Supreme Brahman, and that only the word
brahma-puccham refers to Brahman. This proposal is not very intelligent. Some
others may say that the word ānandamaya does not refer to Brahman because the
word maya means "transformation". These persons say the word ānandamaya
(transformation of bliss) cannot refer to the Supreme Brahman, for Brahman is
naturally full of bliss, and not a transformation of some pre-existing state of
happiness. For this reason the word ānandamaya must refer to the individual spirit
soul, and not Brahman. In order to refute this argument, Śrīla Vyāsadeva speaks
the following sūtra:
Sūtra 13
vikāra-śabdān neti cen na pracuryāt
vikāra—transformation; śabdāt—from the word; na—not; iti—thus; cet—if; na—
not; pracuryāt—because of abundance.
If (someone argues that the Supreme Brahman cannot be the same as the
ānandamaya person described in the Vedas) because the affix maya means
"transformation", (and the Supreme Brahman is not a transformation of ānanda, or
bliss, then I reply by saying that) because the affix maya used here means
"abundance", this interpretation is not correct, (and therefore the word
ānandamaya should be understood to mean "He who is filled with limitless bliss").
Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
The word ānandamaya does not mean "he who is a transformation of bliss."
Why? Because the affix maya here means "abundance", and therefore the word
ānandamaya means "He who is filled with limitless bliss." The rules of Sanskrit
grammar state that the affix maya may not be used to mean "transformation" in
vaidika words of more than two syllables. The word ānanda has three syllables, and
therefore when the word ānandamaya appears in the vaidika text of the Taittirīya
Upaniṣad, it cannot be interpreted to mean "he who is a transformation of bliss."
The Supreme Brahman, therefore, is not only free from all suffering, but filled
with limitless bliss. This is confirmed by the following statements of Vedic
scripture:
eṣa sarva-bhūtāntarātmāpahata-pāpmā divyo deva eko nārāyaṇaḥ
