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

[sū 3. 2 10.
520 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 4.]
i.e. on account of the recognition, viz. ‘I, who was asleep at night,
am awake in the morning’, on account of texts like: “All these crea-
tures go day after day to the world of Brahman, (but) do not know¹
it” (Chānd. 8.3.2), “Whatever they are in this world, whether tiger,
or lion, or wolf, or boar, . . . . ,² or gnat, or mosquito, that they
become” (Chānd. 6 9 2) and so on; and on account of the injunctive
texts, referring to enjoyment and emancipation, such as: “Let one
desirous of heaven perform the Agni-hotra” (Maitrī 6.36), “Let one
desirous of heaven perform sacrifices” (Tait. Saṁ. 2.5 5³), “Tranquil,
let one meditate” (Chānd. 3.14.1), “Let one meditate on the soul”
(Bṛh. 1 4 7) and so on. If some one other than the person who went
to sleep arose, then these reasons would have been set aside. Hence
it is established that the very same person who went to sleep arises.
Here ends the section entitled “The remembrance of work, text
and injunction” (3).
COMPARISON
All others interpret the compound “karmānusmṛti-śabda-vidhi-
bhyaḥ” like Śrīnivāsa, i.e. giving four reasons and not three like
Nimbārka.⁴
Adhikaraṇa 4: The section entitled “The swoon-

ACCOUNT OF BEING LEFT OVER.”
