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

deeds being impossible on the part of atoms, the unseen principle
must be necessarily admitted to be natural (to them), and in that case
there will result the origin of motion at all times The second alter-
native, too, is not tenable, because it is all the more impossible for
the unseen principle, inhering in the individual soul, to urge the
motion of the non-sentient (atoms) Thus, there is no motion "even
in both ways".
"Or ¹ else no motion is possible, whether it be due to the individual
soul, or due to the Lord. Thus, does the individual soul give rise to
the first motion through its own destiny (adṛṣṭa), or through its proxi-
mity, or through its attribute of consciousness ? Not the first, because
of the above-mentioned fault Not through its proximity also,
because the proximity of the individual soul to the atoms being eternal,
the consequence will be that it will ever give rise to the world. Nor
even through consciousness, because of the absence of consciousness
then And motion does not proceed from the Lord as well Is the
Lord, according to your view, designated in the Veda or established
by inference and the rest? If it be said: Designated in the Veda,
then have faith in the procedure mentioned by Scripture thus. 'Every-
thing has that for its soul' (Chānd 6.8 7, etc.), 'He became existence
and that' (Tait. 2 6), and being overwhelmed with the sentiment
of love for Him, be free from affliction,—what is the use of your
doctrine of atoms ? If it be said: Established through inference and
the rest,—(we reply :) that it (viz inference) is not even established
has been proved above.²

"(THE VAIŚEṢIKA DOCTRINE IS UNTENABLE) ALSO ON ACCOUNT
OF THE ADMISSION OF THE RELATION OF INHERENCE, ON ACCOUNT
OF AN INFINITE REGRESS (ARISING THEREFROM) BECAUSE OF
SAMENESS."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"On account also of the admission of the relation of inherence,"
the doctrine of atoms is not possible, since just as a binary compound
is connected with its own cause by the relation of inherence, being
