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

(Gītā 5.15.), ‘ ‘ ‘At the end of many births, one who is possessed of
knowledge attains me’ ’ ’ (Gītā 7 19), ‘ ‘ ‘Those who attain me cross
over this māyā’ ’ ’ (Gītā 7 14), ‘ ‘ ‘Many, purified by the penance of
knowledge come to attain my nature’ ’ ’ (Gītā 4.10), the causes of
bondage, as well as of salvation,—liberating the bound soul from its
bondage, unprecedented, and characterized by the attainment of
His nature,—is well-established, there is not even a shadow of any
contradiction among prior and subsequent (statements) Hence
it is established that there is no contradiction of the concordance of
the scriptural texts (with regard to Brahman) by the view of Kapila,
which is opposed to the Veda and is set forward by means of fallacious
reasoning
Here ends the section entitled “The impossibility of arrange-
ment ” (1).
COMPARISON
While Nimbārka adduces two reasons as to why the Sāṁkhya
doctrine is ‘inconsistent’, viz. (1) oppositon to the Vedānta, (2)
internal contradictions,—others adduce only one, viz. Śaṁkara,
Rāmānuja, Śrīkaṇṭha and Baladeva adduce the second,¹ Bhāskara
adduces the first.² Hence they do not attach any special meaning
to the particle “ca” in the sūtra
Adhikaraṇa 2: The section entitled “The great
and the long”. (Sūtras 11–17)
SŪTRA 11
“FOR, JUST AS THE (ORIGIN) OF THE GREAT AND THE LONG FROM
THE SHORT AND THE SPHERICAL (IS UNTENABLE) (SO EVERYTHING
IS UNTENABLE IN THE VAIŚEṢIKA THEORY).”

Since if they bo possessed of parts, then there will result an
infinite regress; and if without parts, then it will be impossible for them
