having the totality of the enjoying souls as His body (i e. as the inner
soul of the sentient), and (3) meditation on Brahman as having the
objects and means of enjoyment for His body (i e as the inner soul
of the non-sentient) ¹
Bhāskara
This is sūtra 31 in his commentary. Reading different—viz
omits the portion ‘Āśritatvād iha tad-yogāt’. Two alternative
interpretations given, the first (the author’s own view) exactly like
Śaṃkara’s first explanation; the second (the view of others: ‘apare
tu’, etc.) like Nimbārka’s explanation ²
Śrīkaṇṭha
Reading and interpretation same. He points out, exactly after
Rāmānuja, that the three kinds of meditations on the Lord are—
svarūpeṇa, bhoktṛ-śarīreṇa and bhogya-rūpeṇa.³
Baladeva
This is sūtra 31 in Baladeva. His interpretation is like Śaṃkara’s
first interpretation.⁴
