SŪTRA 5
"AND (THE VIDYĀS) BEING THE SAME, (THERE IS) COMBINATION
(OF THE SPECIAL FEATURES), ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-DIFFERENCE
OF MEANING AS IN THE CASE OF WHAT IS COMPLEMENTARY TO
INJUNCTION."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
The vidyās being identical, and their meaning being the same,
their special features are to be combined together, "as in the case
of what is complementary to the injunction" with regard to the
Agni-hotra and the like.
Vedānta-kaustubha
The identity of the vidyās being thus established, the author
explains its purpose.
"And" meditations "being the same", their special features
are to be combined together. The sense is that the special
features or details found in one vidyā are to be applied to others as
well, "on account of the non-difference of meaning", i.e. on account
of the unity of purpose. "As in case of what is complementary
to injunction," i e. just as there is the combination everywhere
of what is complementary to the injunctions regarding the Agni-
hotra and the rest,—like that.¹ Hence it is established that on account
of the non-difference of injunctions and the rest, vidyās or meditations
are the same, and that their special features are to be combined
together.
Here ends the section entitled "The understanding in all the
Vedāntas" (1)
Śaṁkara, Bhāskara and Śrīkaṇṭha
They take this sūtra as forming an adhikaraṇa by itself. Inter-
pretation same.
¹ I.e. in the Karma-Kāṇḍa, the special features or aṅgas of a sacrifice
are mentioned in various places and not in the same place; yet when the sacrifice
is performed, all these scattered features and details are combined. Similarly,
the special details of a particular vidyā or meditation may be mentioned in
various places; yet when it is practised, all these details are to be brought
together.
