वेदान्त पारिजात सौरभ (भगवद् निम्बार्काचार्य - द्वैताद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

768 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [sū. 3. 4. 46.
ADH. 12.]
Baladeva
Interpretation absolutely different, viz. “the work of the priest,
so Auḍulomi (thinks), for (the Lord) is bought for him”. That is,
just as an officiating priest sells himself, as it were, to the sacrificer,
so the Lord sells Himself to the nirapekṣa devotees.¹
He too like Śaṁkara reads a sūtra “Śruteś ca” after this sūtra
Adhikaraṇa 12. The section entitled “The
injunction of another auxiliary”. (Sūtras 46–
48)
SŪTRA 46
“(THERE IS) INJUNCTION OF ANOTHER AUXILIARY FOR ONE WHO
POSSESSES THAT, AS IN THE CASE OF INJUNCTION AND SO ON, (THE
TERM ‘MAUNA’ DENOTING), IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OTHER
ALTERNATIVE, A THIRD SOMETHING.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
In the text: “Hence let a Brāhmaṇa, being disgusted with learning,
desire to live in the childlike state; being disgusted with the states
of childhood and learning, then he becomes an ascetic” (Bṛh. 3.5.1 ²),
the term ‘ascetic’ may, of course, mean ‘one possessed of knowledge’,
yet “according to the other alternative”, it may also mean ‘one
given to profound reflection’. Hence, “another auxiliary”, “a third”
something as distinguished from learning and childlike state, viz.
asceticism, has been enjoined here, like sacrifice and the rest and
like calmness and the rest.
Vedānta-kaustubha
Previously, sacrifices and the rest and calmness and the rest
have been determined as auxiliaries to one who is possessed of know-
ledge. Similarly, asceticism is another auxiliary to one possessed of
knowledge. Now, a discussion relating to this is being undertaken.
