36. There is interchange of ideas, for the texts distinguish; as in other cases
37. For one and the same highest divinity ... is the subject of that meditation
38. Wishes and the rest, here and there...
39. On account of emphasis there is non-omission
40. In the case of him who has approached Brahman...
41. There is non-restriction of determination, because this is seen; for there is a separate fruit, viz. non-obstruction
42. Just as in the case of the offerings...
43. On account of the plurality of indicatory marks...
44. There is option with regard to what precedes...
45. And on account of the transfer
46. But it is a meditation only, on account of assertion and what is seen
47. And on account of the greater strength of direct statement, and so on, there is no refutation
48. On account of connexions and the rest, as in the case of the separateness of other cognitions
49. Not so, on account of this being observed on account of similarity also; as in the case of Death; for the person in yonder orb does not occupy the worlds of Death
50. And by a subsequent Brâhmana also the 'being of such a kind' of the word is proved...
51. Some, on account of the existence of a Self within a body
52. But this is not so, but rather difference; since it is of the being of that; as in the case of intuition
53. But those meditations which are connected with members of sacrifices are not restricted to particular sâkhâs, but rather belong to all sâkhâs
54. Or there is no contradiction as in the case of mantras and the rest
55. There is pre-eminence of plenitude, as in the case of the sacrifice; for thus Scripture shows
56. The meditations are separate, on account of the difference of words, and so on
57. Option, on account of the non-difference of result
59. They belong to the constituent members, as the bases
60. And on account of injunction
61. On account of rectification
62. And on account of the declaration of a quality being common to all the Vedas
63. Rather not, as the text does not declare their going together
64. And because (Scripture) shows it
Fourth Pâda
Fourth Pâda: 1. The benefit to man results from thence, on account of scriptural statement; thus Bâdarâyana thinks
2. On account of the Self standing in a complementary relation, they are arthavâdas...
3. On account of such conduct being seen
4. On account of direct scriptural statement
5. On account of the taking hold together
6. On account of injunction for such a one
7. On account of definite rule
8. But on account of the teaching of the different one...
9. But the declarations are equal.
10. (It is) non-comprehensive
11. There is distribution, as in the case of the hundred
12. Of him who has merely read the Veda
13. Not so, on account of non-specification
14. Or the permission is for the purpose of glorification
15. Some also, by proceeding according to their liking
16. And destruction
17. And of him who is chaste...
18. A reference only ... on account of absence of injunction
19. It is to be accomplished, ... on account of scriptural statement of equality
20. Or an injunction, as in the case of the carrying
21. If it be said that they are mere glorification, on account of their reference; not so, on account of the newness
22. And on account of the words denoting becoming
23. .. the stories told in the Upanishads ...
24. This follows also from the textual connexion of those stories with injunctions
25. For this very reason there is no need of the lighting of the fire...
26. And there is need of all works...
27. But all the same he must be possessed of calmness...
28. And there is permission of all food in the case of danger of life ...
29. And on account of non-sublation
30. This is said in Smriti also
31. ... as to non-proceeding according to liking
32. The works of the âsramas ...
33. And on account of co-operativeness
34. In any case they are the same, on account of twofold inferential signs
35. ... knowledge not to be overpowered
36. Also in the case of those outside, as this is seen
37. Smriti also states this
38. And there is the promotion of knowledge through special acts of duty
39. But better than that is the other also on account of an inferential mark
40. But of him who has become that there is no becoming not that...
41. Nor the expiatory performance...
42. A minor one, thus some; and hence they hold the existence of expiation, as in the case of eating.
43. But in either case such men stand outside...
45. They are the priest's work...
46. There is injunction of other auxiliary means...
47. But on account of the existence of knowledge in all, there is winding up with the householder
48. On account of the others also being taught...
49. Not manifesting itself; on account of the connexion
50. What belongs to this world, there being no obstruction at hand; as this is seen
51. In the same way there is non-determination...
Fourth Adhyâya
First Pâda
First Pâda: 1. Repetition...
2. And on account of an inferential mark
3. But as the Self...
4. Not in the symbol...
5. The view of Brahman, on account of superiority
6. And the ideas of Âditya and the rest on the member
7. Sitting; on account of possibility
8. And on account of meditation
9. And with reference to immobility
10. And Smriti texts say the same
11. Where concentration of mind is possible...
12. Up to death; for there also it is seen
13. On the attainment of this, there result the non-clinging and the destruction of later and earlier sins
14. Of the other also there is thus non-clinging; but at death
15. But only those former works the effects of which have not yet begun...
16. But the Agnihotra and the rest...
17. According to some a class of good works other than these, of both kinds
18. ... 'whatever he does with knowledge.'
19. But having destroyed by fruition the other two sets he becomes one with Brahman
Second Pâda
Second Pâda: 1. Speech with mind...
2. And for the same reason all follow after
3. That mind in breath...
4. That is united with the ruler
5. With the elements...
6. Not with one...
7. And it is common up to the beginning of the way...
8. Since, up to the union with ... Brahman
9. And the subtle body persists
10. Hence not in the way of destruction of bondage
11. And to that very subtle body there belongs the warmth
12. ... From the embodied soul...
13. Smriti also declares this
14. With the Highest; for thus it says
15. Non-division...
16. A lighting up of the point of the abode...
17. Following the rays
18. ... the connexion persists as long as the body does
19. For the same reason also during the southern progress of the sun
20. And those two paths are ... to be remembered
Third Pâda
Third Pâda: 1. On the path beginning with light...
2. From the year to Vâyu...
3. Beyond lightning there is Varuna
4. Conductors, this being indicated
5. From thence by him only who belongs to lightning
6. Him who meditates on the effected Brahman...
7. And on account of Brahman being specified
8. But on account of nearness there is that designation
9. On the passing away of the effected world of Brahma, together with its ruler, the souls go to what is higher than that...
10. And on account of Smriti
11. The Highest ... on account of primariness of meaning
12. And because Scripture declares it
13. And there is no aiming at the effected Brahman
14. Those not depending on symbols...
15. And Scripture declares the difference
Fourth Pâda
Fourth Pâda: 1. On the soul's having approached the highest light there is manifestation
2. The released one; on account of the promise
3. The Self, on account of subject-matter
4. In non-division; because that is seen
5. In a nature like that of Brahman
6. In the sole nature of intelligence; as that is its Self...
7. Thus also, on account of existence of the former qualities as proved by suggestion, Bâdarayana holds absence of contradiction
8. By the mere will...
9. And for this very reason without another ruler
10. The absence...
11. The presence...
12. For this reason Bâdarâyana holds him to be of both kinds; as in the case of the twelve days' sacrifice
13. In the absence of a body, as in the state of dream; that being possible
14. When there is a body, as in the waking state
15. The entering is as in the case of a lamp
16. It refers either to dreamless sleep or to union...
17. With the exception of world-energy...
18. ... that which abides within the spheres of those entrusted with special functions
19. That which is not within change; for thus Scripture declares the abiding of the soul
20. And thus Perception and Inference show
21. And on account of the indication of the equality of enjoyment only
22. Non-return, according to Scripture...
