Vedānta-kaustubha
It has been pointed out above that at the time of meditation, the
particular form (which the individual soul has) at that time should
be disregarded, and (its) special form, as characterized by the mani-
fested (attributes) of freedom from sins and so on, is to be conceived
of. Similarly, here too, since a particular form can accomplish the
end, the meditations may rest upon the particular forms of the ud-
gītha and the rest, i.e. be based on them, in whatever special forms
these udgītha and the rest are mentioned in whatever particular
branches with whatever special accents,—this doubt (the author)
dispels now by stating his own view.
The doubt is as to whether the meditations, founded on the sub-
sidiary parts of sacrificial acts like the udgītha and the rest, such as:
"Let one meditate on this syllable 'Om' as the udgītha" (Chānd,
1.1.1), "Let one meditate on the five-fold sāman in the worlds'.
(Chānd. 2.1.1), " 'Hymn, hymn', people say. The hymn is, forsooth,
the earth" (Ait. Ār. 2.1.2 1), "This world, verily, is the piled up fire"
(Śat. Br. 10.5.4, 1 2) and so on, enjoined in all the branches of all the
Vedas, are based on those particular forms of the udgītha and the
rest in which they are read in those particular branches in those special
accents, or are connected with the udgītha and the rest contained in
all the branches. Here the prima facie view is that on account of
proximity, they are based on those particular forms of the udgītha
and the rest in which these udgītha and the rest are read in those
particular branches in those special accents, but are not connected
with the udgītha and the rest presented in a different branch.
With regard to this, (the author) states the correct conclusion:
"Connected with the subsidiary parts". The word "but" is meant
for rejecting the prima facie view. Those meditations, "connected
with the subsidiary parts", i.e. founded on the subordinate members
of sacrifices, do not rest on the udgītha and the rest belonging to their
own branches, but are connected with "each Veda", i.e. with the
udgīthas and the rest represented in all the branches. The word "for"
implies the reason, i.e. because in spite of the difference of the forms
of the udgītha and the rest resulting from the difference of accents
and so on, the scriptural text about the udgītha, viz "Let one meditate
