1 Sankara does not explain this. Nîlakaṇṭha says pervading= fully understanding ; both worlds=the self and the not-self. Is the meaning something like that of the passage last cited by Sankara under Vedânta-sûtra IV, 2, 14?
2 He obtains the fruit of it, Śaṅkara. See as to Agnihotra, Khandogya, p. 381 seq.; and Vedânta-sûtra IV, 1, 16.
3 Le. this mortal world, as action &c. would do.
4 Le. of one who understands himself to be the Brahman. See Aitareya-upanishad, p. 246.
5 Śaṅkara says, ‘the cause in which all is absorbed.’ Cf. a similar, but not identical, meaning given to Vaisvanara at Khândogya, p. 264; and see Vedânta-sûtra I, 2, 24. Becomes great= becomes the Brahman, Śaṅkara.
6 Even in this body, Sankara; degradation he takes to mean departure from the body, citing Bṛihadâraṇyaka, p. 540.
7 There is no worldly life with birth and death for one who does good, and thinks his self to be the Brahman; hence no emancipation from such life either.
8 The Brahman is the real, and on that the unreal material world is imagined. Cf. Taittirîya, p. 97, and Sankara’s comments there, which are of use in understanding this passage.
1 Sankara does not explain this. Nîlakaṇṭha takes "pervading" to mean fully understanding, and "both worlds" to mean the self and the not-self. Is the meaning something like that of the passage Sankara last cites under Vedânta-sûtra IV, 2, 14?
2 He obtains the fruit of it, Śaṅkara. See, regarding the Agnihotra, Khandogya, p. 381 seq.; and Vedânta-sûtra IV, 1, 16.
3 I.e. this mortal world, as action &c. would do.
4 I.e. of one who understands himself to be the Brahman. See Aitareya-upanishad, p. 246.
5 Śaṅkara says, "the cause in which all is absorbed." Compare a similar, though not identical, meaning given to Vaisvanara at Khândogya, p. 264; and see Vedânta-sûtra I, 2, 24. Becomes great = becomes the Brahman, Śaṅkara.
6 Even in this body, according to Sankara; by degradation he means departure from the body, citing Bṛihadâraṇyaka, p. 540.
7 For one who does good and understands his self to be the Brahman, there is no worldly life of birth and death—and therefore no question of emancipation from it either.
8 Brahman is the real, and the unreal material world is imagined upon it. Cf. Taittirîya, p. 97, and Sankara's comments there, which are of use in understanding this passage.
