PRIMA FACIE VIEW (concluded)
SŪTRA 16
"ON ACCOUNT OF HIS ACTIVITY EVEN THERE, (THERE IS) NO
CONTRADICTION"
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"On account of the activity" of Yama alone even in the Raurava

"On account of his activity," i.e. on account of Yama's activity",
"even there too", i.e. in Raurava and the rest too, Citragupta and the
rest are under the control of Yama; and hence there is "no
contradiction".

'Now through neither of these two paths these small many-times
returning creatures are born. "Be born and die",—thus is this third
place. Thereby this world is not filled up' (Chānd. 5.10.8 ²).
By the phrase: 'of the two paths', knowledge and work are
designated, these two "being the subjects under discussion". In the
