CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued)
SŪTRA 48
"ON ACCOUNT OF INSEPARABLE ADJUNCTS AND THE REST, LIKE
THE SEPARATENESS OF OTHER COGNITIONS, AND (BECAUSE IT)
IS SEEN, THAT HAS BEEN SAID."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"On account of the inseparable adjuncts" like hymns, recitations
and so on 1, mentioned in the text. "By mind the cups were taken
in them" (Śat. Br 10 5.3, 3 2), and on account of direct scriptural
statement and the rest,3 the sacrifice consisting in meditation is indeed

as well: "But the texts, on account of being new" (Pū. Mī. Sū. 10.4.22 5)
and so on.

connection with a fruit,—to say that they are subordinate members
of a sacrifice consisting in meditation does not stand to reason,—
(the author) replies:
The sacrifice consisting in meditation is indeed different from
the sacrifice consisting in action, and (hence) the fact that they (i.e.
fires) are the subordinate members of the former does stand to reason.
Why? "On account of the inseparable adjuncts and the rest,"
i e. on account of the inseparable adjuncts, transference, Scripture
and so on. Among these, the inseparable adjuncts, (i.e. the attendant
performances) are stated in the text: "By mind the cups were taken
in them" (Śat. Br. 10.5.3, 3). As a sacrifice consisting in action and
