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

SŪTRA 23
"ALSO ON ACCOUNT OF THE DESIGNATION OF ATTRIBUTES AND
DIFFERENCE, NOT THE TWO OTHERS."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
Pradhāna and the individual soul are not denoted by the words
'Imperishable, the source of beings', "on account of the designation
of attributes and difference". The designation of attributes is:
'All-pervading' (Muṇḍ. 1.1 6¹); and the designation of difference is:
'Higher than the high Imperishable' (Muṇḍ 2.1.2²).
Vedānta-kaustubha
"The two others", i.e. pradhāna and the soul, are not indicated
as the Imperishable, the source of beings, but the Highest Self alone.
Why? "Also on account of the designation of attributes and differ-
ence." That is, the attribute 'All-pervading' (Muṇḍ. 1.1 6) in
the text concerned excludes pradhāna and the individual soul from
being the Imperishable, the source of beings,—on account of that;
in the text: 'Higher than the high Imperishable' (Muṇḍ. 2.1.2),
the difference of the Imperishable, the source of beings, from these
two is designated,—on account of that as well.
COMPARISON
Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha
They interpret this sūtra in the same way. The word 'viśeṣaṇa'
interpreted differently, viz. 'Because this section distinguishes the
Imperishable from pradhāna and the individual soul, since it aims at
proving that through the knowledge of one there is the knowledge of
all'.³
