The two Sutras II, 3, 32 and 37 have stated an objection against those who, without taking their stand on the Veda, held the view of an all-pervading soul. The Sutras II, 3, 50 and ff., on the other hand, combat the view of those who, while basing their doctrine on the Veda, teach the absolute unity of the Self. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the part. Thus the pranas.

It thus remains a settled conclusion that Brahman is to be meditated upon as constituting the Self of the meditating Devotee. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'meditation under the aspect of Self. Up. Up. The Purvapakshin holds the former view.

That eating the soul means no more than satisfaction with it, may also be inferred from the following scriptural passage, 'The gods in truth do not eat nor do they drink; by the mere sight of that amrita they are satisfied. It thus remains a settled conclusion that the soul moves enveloped by the subtle rudiments of the elements. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the obtaining of another body.

These texts declare all individual souls to be the body of the sinless highest Self which is said to be the inward principle of all of them. It is thereby completely proved that the highest Self is something different from all individual souls such as Aditya, and so on. Here terminates the adhikarana of the 'one within.

Here terminates the adhikarana of 'what belongs to this world. In the same way there is non-determination with regard to what has Release for its result; that condition being ascertained, that condition being ascertained.

Thus the Lord himself says, 'I am the origin of all, everything proceeds from me; knowing this the wise worship me with love. To them ever devoted, worshipping me in love, I give that means of wisdom by which they attain to me. Gi. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'that which depends on the Highest.

The interpretation moreover does not fit in with the wording of the Sutras. Here terminates the adhikarana of the 'small one. On account of the term, the one measured.

Smriti also declares that that knowledge which effects Release is of the nature of continued representation. Meditation therefore has to be repeated. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'repetition. The following point is now taken into consideration. Is Brahman to be meditated upon as something different from the meditating Devotee, or as the Self of the latter?

This instruction begins, I, 2, 12, 'The Ancient one who is difficult to see, &c., and extends up to I, 3, 9. 'and that is the highest place of Vishnu. It thus is an established conclusion that the 'eater' is no other than the highest Self. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the eater. The Chandogas have the following text: 'The Person that is seen within the eye, that is the Self. Up.

Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the pariplava. For this very reason there is no need of the lighting of the fire and so on. The Sutras return, from their digression into the discussion of two special points, to the question as to those whose condition of life involves chastity. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the kindling of the fire. Up. Of this view the Sutra disposes.
