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

[sū. 4. 2. 12.
ADH. 5.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 821
“On account of appropriateness,”—i.e. because when the subtle
body is present, heat is felt in the gross body; when it is not present,
that is not felt in it too. Thus, from such positive and negative
evidences, it is known that heat is an attribute of the subtle body.
For this reason also, the mode of departure of a knower and a non-
knower is the same up to the beginning of the path,—this is the sense.
COMPARISON
Śaṃkara and Bhāskara
They add an “eṣa” after “upapateḥ”. Interpretation same.¹

REPLY:) NO, (THAT REFERS TO THE GOING OUT OF THE SENSE-
ORGANS) FROM THE EMBODIED SOUL, FOR (THE TEXT) OF SOME
(MAKES THIS) CLEAR.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
If it be objected that on account of the denial, viz. “Now, he
who does not desire, who is without desire, who is free from desire,
who has attained his desire, who desires for the self,—his sense-organs
do not go out” (Bṛh. 4.4.6 ²), a knower’s departure from the body
is not justifiable,—we reply: There is no such contradiction, since
that this is a denial of the departure of the sense-organs “from the
embodied soul”, the topic of discussion, is clear from the reading
“of some”, viz. “From him the vital-breaths do not depart” (Śat.
Br. 14.7.2, 8 ³). Scripture denies their departure from that alone.

If it be objected: Under the aphorism: “And the same up to the
beginning of the path” (Br. Sū. 4.2.7) it has been established that a

³ P. 1089, line 8. Ś, R, Bh, ŚK, B. I.e. the Kāṇva recension reads “tasya”
which might have given rise to some misunderstanding. But the Mādhyandina
recension reads “tasmāt” leaving no room for doubt.
