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

490 VEDĀNTA PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [sū. 3. 1. 13.
ADH. 3.]
On the doubt, viz. whether those who do not perform sacrifices
and the rest, too, go to the region of the moon or not,—the prima
facie view is as follows. The word "aniṣṭha" (in the sūtra) means
forbidden deeds, and the word "ādi" means the giving up of what
is enjoined. The going of even those who perform what is forbidden
and give up what is enjoined "is declared" by a Kauṣītaki-text, viz.
'Whoever, verily, depart from this world,—they all go to the region
of the moon' (Kauṣ. 1. 2).

again and again" ' (Kaṭha. 2.6 ¹), 'The son of Vivasvat, the meeting
of place ² of men' (Ṛg. 10.14. 1 ³) and so on.

To the objection, viz. If both the pious and the impious go to
the moon, then Scripture, concerned with injunctions and prohibitions,
must be futile,—(the prima facie objector) replies:
The term "but" is meant for disposing of the above objection.
That is, the pious as well as the impious do not go to the moon, and
hence the two kinds of scriptural texts are not futile by any means
Then what is the difference between these two cases?—We reply:
"On account of such a going being declared", i.e. because the going
