ADH. 6.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 131
SŪTRA 24
"ALSO ON ACCOUNT OF THE MENTION OF (HIS) FORM "
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"Also on account of the mention of the form" of the Highest
Self in the passage: 'Fire is his head' (Muṇḍ. 2 1 4¹) and so on,
not the other two.
Vedānta-kaustubha
The very same Being who is this Imperishable, the source of
beings, the Cause of all causes and has the sentient and the non-
sentient as His powers, abides also as the inner controller of the
sentient and the non-sentient, the powers, and as His effects, and
should be meditated on by one who desires salvation and is free from
the faults of envy and malice,—with a view to showing this, the
author here states that the universe is the form of the Lord
The Imperishable, the source of beings, is the Highest Self alone,
and not the other two. Why? "On account of the mention of (His)
form." In the passage: 'Fire is his head, his eyes, the sun and the
moon, the regions his ears, his utterances the Vedas, wind his breath,
his heart the Universe, from his feet the earth (arises), truly, he is
the Inner Soul of all beings' (Muṇḍ 2.1 4), the entire expanse of the
universe, consisting of the sentient and the non-sentient, is designated
as the form of the Highest Self alone, the inner Controller of all. If
pradhāna and the individual soul be understood here, the designation
of such a form is not possible. For this reason also, it is established
that the Imperishable, who is the source of beings, is the Highest
Person.
Here ends the section entitled 'Invisibility' (6).
