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

[SŪ. 1 3. 17.
168 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH 5.]
COMPARISON
Rāmānuja, Śrīkaṇṭha and Baladeva
This is sūtra 15 in the commentaries of Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha
Resulting meaning same, although the meaning of words different,
viz.: ‘asya’ means ‘of the Lord’ and ‘asmin’ means in the small
ether. Hence the sūtra ‘Because supporting, which is a greatness
of him (viz the Lord), is observed in it (viz. in the small ether)’ ¹
SŪTRA 17
“AND BECAUSE IT IS WELL-KNOWN.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
And because the word ‘ether’ is well-known to be denoting the
Highest Self as well,—as in the passages: ‘The ether, verily, is the
revealer of name and form’ (Chānd 8 14.1 ²), ‘All these beings,
forsooth, arise from the ether alone’ (Chānd. 1.9 1 ³),—the small ether
is none but the Highest Self
Vedānta-kaustubha
Again, the small ether should be understood to be none but the
Highest Self Why? Because the word ‘ether’ is well-known to be
denoting the Highest Self as well. Where? In the passages: ‘The
ether, verily, is the revealer of name and form’ (Chānd. 8 14.1),
‘All these beings, forsooth, arise from the ether alone’ (Chānd 1.9.1).
COMPARISON
Śrīkaṇṭha
Interpretation different, viz. : ‘Because (the Lord) is celebrated
(in other Upaniṣads, viz. Mahopaniṣad, Kaivalya-upaniṣad and the
rest), to be an object to be worshipped as abiding in the small lotus,
(the small ether is the Lord)’ ⁴.
