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

[SŪ. 2. 4. 15.

Baladeva
Interpretation different, viz. “But the light (jyotiḥ) is the prime
ruler (ādyadhiṣṭhāna), on account of the declaration of that.” That
is, the Lord is the primary initiator of the sense-organs, while the
fire-god and the rest, and the individual soul are secondary initiators.¹
SŪTRA 15
“WITH THE POSSESSOR OF THE VITAL-BREATH, ON ACCOUNT OF
SCRIPTURAL TEXT.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
There is a servant-master relation between the sense-organs and
the individual soul alone. The soul is the enjoyer, “on account of
the scriptural text”: ‘Now where the eye has entered into the ether,
that is the seeing person: the eye is for seeing’ (Chānd. 8.12.4²).
Vedānta-kaustubha
If this be so, then enjoyment, too, may pertain to the gods,—to
this the author replies:
The possessor of the vital-breath is one who has the vital-breath,
the cause of the holding up of the body and the sense-organs. The
sense-organs have a servant-master relation “with the possessor of
the vital-breath”, i.e. with the individual soul. This being so, the
possessor of the vital-breath alone is the enjoyer of objects through
the sense-organs,—this is the sense. Why? “On account of scriptural
text”, i.e. on account of the scriptural text: ‘Now, where the eye
has entered into the ether, that is the seeing person; the eye is for
seeing’ (Chānd. 8.12.4).
