ADH 1,]
The word "but" is meant for disposing of the above objection.
Though the attributes of having true resolves and the rest are
natural to the individual soul,—which is a part of Brahman, which
is deluded by nescience consisting in beginningless karmas, and which,
for that very reason, has its face turned away from the Lord,—yet
they become "hidden" during its state of bondage. Why? "Through
the wish of the Highest," i.e. 'through the wish' or the resolution in
accordance with the deeds of the soul, "of the Highest" or of the
Supreme Person. The word "for" implies emphasis. "From that"
resolution alone "its" "bondage and (its) reverse" arise, as declared
by the scriptural texts: "The cause of transmigration, bondage,
subsistence and salvation" (Śvet. 6.16). "For, truly, when he finds
fearlessness as a foundation in that which is invisible, incorporeal,
undefined and unsupported, then he is gone to fearlessness. When,
however, he makes the smallest distinction therein, then he comes to
have fear" (Tait. 2.7) and so on; and in accordance with the Smṛti
passages: "The binder with the noose of the world and the liberator
from the noose of the world" and so on.
COMPARISON
Śaṁkara and Bhāskara
Interpretation absolutely different, viz. "But through the medita-
tion on the Highest, the hidden (attributes of the soul become manifest),
for from that its bondage and (its) reverse (arise)." That is, if it be
said that the soul being a part of Īśvara is possessed of the power
of realizing all its wishes, and hence it creates real dream-objects,—
the answer is that the real attributes of the soul, viz its power of
realizing all wishes and so on, remain hidden through nescience and
become manifest only through the meditation on the Lord. ¹ Thus
their interpretation of the first portion of the sūtra is diametrically
opposed to Nimbārka's.
Nimbārka Śaṁkara and Bhāskara
Through the wish of the Highest Through the meditation on
(the real attributes of the soul the Highest the hidden (at-
become) hidden. tributes of the soul become
manifest).
