difference of everything”. (Sūtra 10)
SŪTRA 10
“ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-DIFFERENCE OF EVERYTHING (I.E.
EVERYWHERE, VIZ. CHĀNDOGYA AND BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA), THOSE
(QUALITIES ARE TO BE INSERTED) ELSEWHERE (VIZ. IN THE
KAUṢĪTAKI).”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
In the Chāndogya as well as in the Vājasaneyaka, under the
dialogue of the sense-organs, the vital-breath, endowed with the
attributes of being the oldest and the best, is designated as the object
to be worshipped, and also speech and the rest are designated as
possessed of the attributes of being the richest and so on; and those
attributes are ascribed to the vital-breath. In the dialogue of the
sense-organs in the Kauṣītaki, on the other hand, the attributes of
speech and the rest are stated, but are not ascribed to the vital-
breath. With regard to it, we reply: “Elsewhere”, i.e. in the dialogue

are said to be under the control of the vital-breath,—which is the cause
of the seniority and excellence of the latter

While in one place (viz. in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka) the word ‘udgītha’
refers to the whole, in another place (viz. in the Chāndogya) it refers
to a part only and as such does not relate to the whole,—hence the
two udgītha-meditations are different. Likewise since in some cases
the vital-breath is designated as endowed with the attributes of being
the richest and the like, in some cases, again, not so endowed, the medi-
tations on the vital-breath too are different,—the author is refuting
this view now by the maxim of the combination of special features.¹
In the dialogue of the sense-organs, the Chāndogas as well as the
Vājasaneyins demonstrate the vital-breath, endowed with the attri-
butes of being the oldest and the best, as the object to be worshipped
thus: “He who, verily, knows the oldest and the best, becomes, for-
