CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued)
SŪTRA 16
“AND (THERE IS) THE DESTRUCTION (OF WORK BY KNOWLEDGE)”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
For this very reason texts declare “the destruction” of work by
knowledge, thus “And his works perish, when he who is high and low
is seen” (Muṇḍ. 2.2.8 ¹).
Vedānta-kaustubha
“And” texts record “the destruction” of work,—the cause of
the three kinds of miseries, and consisting in good and bad deeds,—
by knowledge, thus: “The knot of the heart is broken, all doubts are
cut off and all his works perish, when he who is high and low is seen”
(Muṇḍ. 2.2.8) and so on. There are statements by the Lord too,
viz. “‘Him whose works are burnt off by knowledge the wise call a
knower’” (Gītā 4 19), “‘The fire of knowledge reduces all works to
ashes, O Arjuna!’” (Gītā 4.3.7).

Baladeva
Interpretation same, but he is of the opinion that even prārabdha-
karmas may be destroyed by vidyā.²
