Adhikaraṇa 1 The section entitled "Beginning
with light". (Sūtra 1)
SŪTRA 1
"THROUGH (THE PATH) BEGINNING WITH LIGHT, THAT BEING
CELEBRATED."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
It should be known that there is only one path, viz. that beginning
with light. Hence through it alone the knowers go, since in the
Chāndogya: "They reach the light, from light the day, from the day
the waxing fortnight, from the waxing fortnight the six months when
the sun moves to the north, from those months the year, from the
year the sun, from the sun the moon, from the moon lightning. Then
there is a Person, a non-mortal. He leads them to Brahman. Those
who go through this, do not return to this human whirlpool" (Chānd.
4 15.5-6 1); in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka: "They reach light, from light the
day, from the day the waxing fortnight, from the waxing fortnight
the six months when the sun moves to the north, from the months
the world of gods, from the world of gods the sun, from the sun light-
ning. A Person consisting of mind comes and leads those who have
reached lightning to the worlds of Brahman" (Bṛh. 6.2.15 2) and in
other places too it is celebrated in the very same way.
Vedānta-kaustubha
Thus, in the previous quarter, the problems concerning a knower's
departure and the rest have been considered. Now, discussions
about the path through which he proceeds for attaining Brahman are
being undertaken.
