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

[SŪ. 2. 2. 34.
ADH. 6.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 373
Supreme Cause (tajja), disappears in Him (talla) and breathes, i.e.
acts in Him (tadana) The elision of the parts is in accordance with
Vedic use.
Moreover, a single cause of the world being established by correct
evidence, the causality of a plurality of atoms does not stand to
reason, because that would involve unnecessary cumbrousness and
also because causality is impossible on their parts, owing to their
non-sentience.
Further, the one reality, knowable from the Veda, being the
giver of salvation, it is difficult for salvation to result from the grace
of the perfect souls,¹ that being impossible Does the grace of the
perfect souls depend on meditation or not ? If the first, then, salvation
cannot arise through the meditation on one perfect soul among many
perfect souls of the same nature, for there will be the fault of dis-
regarding many other equally perfect souls. If there be meditation
on all, that would involve unnecessary complication. If it be said
that there is one great (soul higher than the others), then you fall in
with a theistic view. On the second alternative, the consequence
would be a universal release Moreover, there being no evidence of
direct perception and the rest for the existence of perfect souls, it is
impossible that salvation can result from their grace.
SŪTRA 34
"AND THUS (IF) THE SOUL (BE OF THE SIZE OF THE BODY) THERE IS
NON-ENTIRETY.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"Thus", there must be incompleteness on the part of the soul,
assumed to be of the size of the body, when it attains a large body
Vedānta-kaustubha
Just as their view is open to the objection that contradictory
attributes are impossible on the part of one and the same substratum,
so their view that the soul is of the size of the body, too, is open to
1 Siddhas or semi-divine beings, supposed to be of great purity and holiness
and characterized by the eight supernatural attributes.
