Vedānta-kaustubha
The view of one who knows is acceptable, but not that of one
who does not know. Hence in the previous section the view of Jaimini
has been accepted, while that of others has been rejected. Now by
showing that the meditation on the subsidiary parts is the work of the

is declared to be pertaining to the sacrificer.

account of the scriptural text about fruit, so Ātreya thinks".¹ Hence
he does not take this sūtra as representing the opponent's view.
