1^ Each passage mentions at least one of the stages of the road leading to the world of Brahman, and we thus conclude that the same road — of which the stations are the attributes — is meant everywhere. 384 vedanta-sOtras.
2Up. V, 10, i); 'Whatever victory, whatever greatness belongs to Brahman, that victory he gives, that greatness he reaches ' (Kau. Up. 1,2); ' Those who find the world of Brahman by Brahma/^arya ' {KJi. Up. VIII, 4, 3). — To the remark that the emphatical assertion (made in the passage, 'Just by those rays,' &c.) would be contradicted by our admitting light and so on as stages of the road, we reply that no such difficulty exists, because that passage aims only at establishing the rays (as part of the road). For the one word 'just' cannot at the same time establish the rays and discard light and so on. The passage therefore must be understood as only emphasising the connexion with the rays. — Nor does the regard paid by us to the statements about light and so on being stages of the way contradict what one passage says about speed ; for that passage means to say that one goes (to the world of Brahman) more quickly than anywhere else, so that its sense is, ' In the twinkling of an eye one goes there ^.' — Moreover the passage, 'On neither of these two ways' {^KJi. Up. V, 10, 8) — in teaching that there is a third inferior road for those who have missed the other two roads — shows that besides the road of the fathers there is only one further road, viz. the road of the gods, of which light and so on are stages. The text about light and so on mentioning a greater number of stages while other texts mention a smaller number, it stands to reason that the less numerous should be explained in conformity with the more numerous. For this reason also the Sutra says, 'On the road beginning with light, on account of its being widely known.'
