He reads both "bhākta" and "abhākta" and gives two explanations
accordingly. Thus (1) But the designation which depends on
(i.e. refers to) the movable and the immovable must be secondary,
because of being permeated by the being of that (viz. Brahman).
(Here he reads "bhākta".) That is, all the words denoting movable
and immovable objects are only secondary with regard to those
objects, but really denote Brahman, since all objects are modes of
Brahman, (2) or, all the terms denoting movable and immovable
objects are primary with regard to Brahman, because the denotative
power of all terms depends on the being of Brahman. (Here he reads
"abhākta".) ¹

This is sūtra 17 in his commentary as well. He reads "abhākta",
takes this sūtra as an adhikaraṇa by itself, and interprets it exactly

Baladeva
This is sūtra 15 in his commentary. He also reads "abhākta",
takes it as an adhikaraṇa by itself, and interprets on the whole
like Rāmānuja. Only the interpretation of the word "tad-bhāva-
bhāvitvāt" is different; viz. "But the designation dependent on (i.e.
referring to) the movable and the immovable must be primary (with
regard to the Lord), because that fact (tad-bhāva) (viz. the fact that
all words really denote the Lord) is something that follows in future
(i.e. is not directly known at once, but is a matter which one comes to
know after studying Scripture)".³
SŪTRA 17
"THE SOUL (DOES) NOT (ORIGINATE), ON ACCOUNT OF NON-
MENTION IN SCRIPTURE, AND ON ACCOUNT OF ETERNITY (KNOWN)
THEREFROM (I.E. FROM SCRIPTURAL TEXTS)."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
The individual "soul" does not originate. Why? Because there
is no text about its having origin by nature; and because from
