SŪTRA 27
"AND BECAUSE (BRAHMAN) IS CELEBRATED TO BE THE SOURCE."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
And in the texts 'The source of beings which the wise see'
(Muṇḍ. 1.1.6 ³), 'The creator, the Lord, the person, the source of
Brahmā' (Muṇḍ 3.1.3 ⁴), Brahman "is celebrated" by the word
"source". Hence, Brahman alone is the material cause.
Vedānta-kaustubha
"Because" in the texts: 'The source of beings which the wise
see' (Muṇḍ. 1.1 6), 'The creator, the Lord, the person, the source
of Brahmā' (Muṇḍ. 3.1 3), 'This is the source of all' (Māṇḍ. 6),
Brahman "is celebrated" by the word "source", denoting the material
cause,—the material cause is none but Brahman,—this is the sense.
Hence, the doctrine of the Sāṁkhyas is not to be accepted, being
opposed as it is to the Veda. It is established that Lord Kṛṣṇa alone,
the sole topic of all the Vedas, different and non-different from the
universe, the Highest Person, the Lord, and the Lord of all, is to be
meditated on by one desirous of salvation as the non-different material
and efficient cause of the universe.
Here ends the section entitled 'The material cause' (7).
