COMPARISON
Śaṁkara
This is sūtra 25 in his commentary. Reading same. He gives
two alternative explanations of the sūtra Under the first, he points
out that the passage ‘The Gāyatrī, verily, is all this’ (Chānd. 3.12 1)
intimates that by means of the metre Gāyatrī, the mind is to be directed
to Brahman who is connected with the Gāyatrī as its cause, just as
devout meditation on Brahman under the form of certain effects of
Brahman is mentioned in other passages, viz. Aitereya-āraṇyaka.
(See Śrīnivāsa above.) Under the second, he points out that according
to some, the term Gāyatrī directly denotes Brahman, since both
possess four feet, and quotes a Chāndogya passage as an example.

different. He does not take it as referring to one specific parallel
instance as Nimbārka does but understands ‘darśanam’ in the
sense of ‘consistency’, and the phrase means, according to him, ‘for
by such an explanation alone the above passage gives a consistent
meaning ’.³
SŪTRA 27
“AND BECAUSE THE DESIGNATION OF THE BEINGS AND SO ON AS
THE FEET IS APPROPRIATE (ONLY IF BRAHMAN BE DENOTED BY THE
TERM “GĀYATRĪ”), THIS IS SO.”
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
We hold that the Gāyatrī is Brahman not only ‘on account of
the declaration of the application of the mind thus’ (last part of Br.
