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

[SŪ. 2. 4. 16.
ADH. 7.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 467
SŪTRA 16
"ON ACCOUNT OF THE ETERNITY OF THAT."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"On account of the eternity" of the above relationship with the
individual soul alone, but not with the presiding deities.
Vedānta-kaustubha
For this reason, too, the enjoyer of the fruits, accomplishable
by the sense-organs, is their master, the possessor of the vital-breath
alone, but their presiding deities are not such enjoyers, "on account of
the eternity of that", i.e. because there is an eternal relation between
the sense-organs and the possessor of the vital-breath alone, as proved
by the scriptural text: 'He going out the vital-breath goes out after
him. The vital-breath going out all the sense-organs go out after
it' (Bṛh. 4 4.2). The gods, on the other hand, abide in highest
lordship, and not in what is wretched (viz. the body), in accordance
with the scriptural text; 'Evil, verily, does not approach the gods'
(Brh. 1 5 20¹).
COMPARISON
All others add a "ca" in the middle thus: "Tasya ca nityatvāt".
Śaṃkara
The interpretation of the word "tasya" different, viz.: "Because
of the eternity of that (viz. of the individual soul)". That is, the
individual soul alone abides permanently in the body as the enjoyer,
but the deities cannot do so.²
Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha
This is sūtra 14 in their commentaries. Interpretation different:
On account of the eternity of that (viz. of the attribute of being
ruled by the Lord). That is, all objects are eternally ruled by the
Lord alone. Hence it follows that the rule of the sense-organs by the
deities and the individual soul really depends upon the will of the
Lord.³
