Vedānta-kaustubha
It has been established at the end of the third chapter that as the
end, viz. knowledge, depends upon the cessation of the obstructions,
viz. the works the effects of which have already begun, so there is no
fixed rule with regard to the time when knowledge is going to arise
actually.¹ But here, it has been said that knowledge arises on the
fall of the body.² Now, anticipating the enquiry, viz. Whence arises
the cessation of the two kinds of works the effects of which have
already begun? On the fall of which body is there salvation?---
the author replies:---
On the doubt, viz. Whether the good and evil works---the effects
of which have already begun, other than the good and evil works the
effects of which have not yet begun, which are the objects of the
non-clinging and destruction, and are mentioned under the aphorisms:
"On the attainment of that, (there are) non-clinging and destruction,
of the subsequent and prior sins, on account of the designation of that"
(Br. Sū. 4.1.13). "Of the other too (there is) non-clinging thus, but
on fall" (Br. Sū. 4.1.14),---are to be experienced in the body in which
knowledge originates, or to be experienced in another body,---if it
be suggested: Since another body is not desired, they are to be
experienced in the body in which knowledge originates; on its fall,
salvation arises,---
We reply: The word "but" is meant for disposing of the objection.
"Having destroyed the other two," i.e. good and evil deeds the effects
of which have already begun, "by enjoyment", whether in the body
in which knowledge originates or in another body, one "attains"
Brahman, in accordance with the text: "What is not experienced
does not perish" (Br. V.P. 26 70). Hereby, the means to the removal
of the obstruction to knowledge, exhibited under the aphorism;
"In this world, if obstruction be not present" (Br. Sū. 3.4.51), too is
explained. Hence, it is established that there is salvation when on
the decay of the works,---the effects of which have already begun,---by
enjoyment, there is the fall of the body at the completion of
enjoyment.
Here ends the section entitled "The destruction of others" (11).
