SŪTRA 19
“IN THE SAME (BRANCH) TOO, (IT IS) THUS, (I E. THERE IS
IDENTITY OF VIDYĀS), ON ACCOUNT OF NON-DIFFERENCE.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
In a branch of the Vājasaneyins,² i e. in the ‘Mystery of fire’,³
viz. in the section which beginning: “Let one meditate on truth as
Brahman” (Śat. Br. 10.6.3, 1 ⁴), continues: “Let one meditate on the
self, consisting of mind” (Śat. Br. 10.6.3, 2 ⁵) and so on; as well as in
the Bṛhadāraṇyaka text: “This person consists of mind” (Bṛh. 5.6.1 ⁶),
the meditation taught by Śāṇḍilya is recorded And just as the
vidyās, mentioned in different branches, are identical owing to the
identity of the objects meditated on, so the Śāṇḍilya-vidyās, though
mentioned in the same branch, are identical.⁷ The vidyās being the
same, their special features are to be combined together.
Vedānta-kaustubha
Now (the author) points out the identity of the meditations
mtuited by Śāṇḍilya.
The meditation taught by Śāṇḍilya is recorded in the ‘Mystery
of Fire’ in a branch of the Vājasaneyins thus: “Let one meditate on
truth as Brahman. Now, verily, this person consists of thought.
