PRIMA FACIE VIEW (Sūtra 20)
SŪTRA 20
"ON ACCOUNT OF CONNECTION, SO ELSEWHERE ALSO"
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
Just as the Śāṇḍilya-vidyās are identical, and through connection
with them, there is the combination of special features, "so" on account
of their connection with the same vidyā through the introductory
passage: "Truth is Brahman" (Bṛh 5.4.1 ¹), the two names, mentioned
in the scriptural texts: "His secret name is 'Day'—this in reference
to the presiding deities" (Brh. 5.5 3 ²), "His secret name is 'I'—this in
reference to the self" (Bṛh. 5 5 4 ³), are to be combined,—this is the
prima facie view.
Vedānta-kaustubha
Now, having suggested a prima facie view, viz Just as owing
to the identity of the objects to be meditated on, there is combination
of attributes in the Śāṇḍilya-vidyā, so there is combination of the
names in the meditation on the true Brahman also, having the mystic
words⁴ for His body,—(the author) disposes of it in two aphorisms.
In the Bṛhadāraṇyaka, we read, beginning: "Truth is Brahman"
(Bṛh. 5.4.1), and continuing: "Now the real is the yonder sun. The
Person who is there in that orb and the Person who is here in the right
eye" (Bṛh. 5 5.2) and so on. Here, having declared that the true
Brahman is the object to be meditated on—in the orb of the sun as
well as in the right eye—as having the mystic words as His body in the
passage: "Bhūr is his head, Bhuvar is his arms, Svar is his feet" (Bṛh.
5.5.3), the text teaches two secret names as complementary to the
meditation. Here, the true Brahman, the support of the sun and the
support of the eye, is successively stated to have the name 'Day' and
the name 'I', thus: "His secret name is 'Day'—this in reference to
the presiding deities" (Bṛh. 5.5.3), "His secret name is 'I'—this in
reference to the self" (Bṛh. 5.5.4).
