SŪTRA 29
"AND ON ACCOUNT OF NON-CONTRADICTION."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"And on account of the non-contradiction" of the text: "If there
be purity of food, there is purity of life" (Chānd. 7.26.2 ¹).
Vedānta-kaustubha
In the text: "If there be purity of food, there is purity of exist-
ence. If there be purity of existence, there is steady remembrance",
(Chānd. 7.26.2), the purity of food is enjoined as a means to the rise
of knowledge. "On account of the non-contradiction also" of that,
it is definitely ascertained, that there is permission of all food only
in the event of danger to life.
COMPARISON
Baladeva
Interpretation different, viz. "On account of non-obstruction".
Although in ordinary cases the taking of improper food obstructs
the full manifestation of knowledge, yet when a knower of Brahman
is obliged to do so, it does not obstruct his knowledge.²
