"ACCORDING TO INTENTION, ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-CONTRA-
DICTION OF BOTH."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
The friend and the enemy of a knower get respectively his merits
and demerits "according to intention",—thus both become freo from
contradiction.
Vedānta-kaustubha
The good and bad deeds, performed by a knower, go to others
"accordmg to intention", i.e. according to resolution, "on account
of the non-contradiction of both". A causeless discarding, by
parts, of his own deeds to others is inconsistent on the part of a
knower who is impartial; and a causcless appropriating of the good
and bad deeds, performed by others, too, is inconsistent on the part
of any one. One who acting in a friendly manner, wishes the knower
good, obtains the merits of the knower for that very reason But one,
who acting in an unfriendly manner, wishes the knower ill, obtains
the demerits of the knower for that very reason. Thus, if the good
and evil deeds go (to the friend and the enemy) in accordance with
their intontions, the discarding and tho appropriating come to be
free from contradiction. So Smṛti declares: "The sin of one who
is being cursed goos to one who is cursing". It has beon said by the
reverend Manu as well: "Having left his good deeds to his dear
relatives, and his bad deeds to those not dear, he goes to Brahman,
the eternal, through the path of meditation" (Manu. 6 7.9¹).

Śaṁkara
Interpretation different: "(The soul may attain knowledge)
according to (its) likmg (only so long as it has a body); (our view is
preferable) on account of the non-contradiction of both". That is,
a disembodied soul cannot evidently undergo the requisites and so
on for attaining knowledge, but an embodied being alone can do so
according to its own liking. Hence, if the works of a knower still
persist after the fall of his body, it will not be possible for him
