Vedanta
[Footnote 105: Ananda Giri on the preceding passage beginning from 'thus
here also:' na kevala/m/ dvaividhyam brahma/n/a/h/ /s/rutism/ri/tyor eva
siddha/m/ ki/m/ tu sutrak/ri/to api matam ity aha, evam iti,
/s/rutism/ri/tyor iva prak/ri/te pi /s/astre dvairupyam brahma/n/o
bhavati; tatra sopadhikabrahmavishayam antastaddharmadhikara/n/am
udaharati adityeti; uktanyaya/m/ tulyade/s/eshu prasarayati evam iti;
sopadhikopade/s/avan nirupadhikopade/s/a/m/ dar/s/ayati evam ityadina,
atmaj/n/@ana/m/ nir/n/etavyam iti sambandha/h/; ayaprasa@ngam aha
pareti; annamayadyupadhidvarokasya katham paravidyavishayatva/m/ tatraha
upadhiti; nir/n/ayakramam aha vakyeti, uktartham adhikara/n/a/m/
kvastity asa@nkyokta/m/ yatheti.]
[Footnote 106: After which no other Self is mentioned.]
[Footnote 107: The previous proofs were founded on li@nga; the argument
which is now propounded is founded on prakara/n/a.]
[Footnote 108: While, in the case of the Selfs consisting of food and so
on, a further inner Self is duly mentioned each time. It cannot,
therefore, be concluded that the Selfs consisting of food, &c., are
likewise identical with the highest Self referred to in the mantra.]
[Footnote 109: Yadi labdha na labdhavya/h/ katha/m/ tarhi paramatmano
vastutobhinnena jivatmana paramatma labhyata ity artha/h/. Bhamati.]
[Footnote 110: Yatha paramesvarad bhinno jivatma drash/t/a na bhavaty
evam givatmanozpi drash/t/ur na bhinna/h/ parame/s/vara iti,
jivasyanirva/k/yarve parame/s/varozpy anirva/k/ya/h/ syad ity ata aha
parame/s/varas tv avidyakalpitad iti. Ananda Giri.]
[Footnote 111: The explanation of the anandamaya given hitherto is here
recalled, and a different one given. The previous explanation is
attributed by Go. An. to the v/ri/ttikara.]
[Footnote 112: In which sense, as shown above, the word anandamaya must
be taken if understood to denote Brahman.]
[Footnote 113: I.e. the word translated hitherto by abundance.]
[Footnote 114: See I, 1, 15-19. ]
[Footnote 115: The preceding adhikara/n/a had shown that the five Selfs
(consisting of food, mind, and so on), which the Taitt. Up. enumerates,
are introduced merely for the purpose of facilitating the cognition of
Brahman considered as devoid of all qualities; while that Brahman itself
is the real object of knowledge. The present adhikara/n/a undertakes to
show that the passage about the golden person represents the savi/s/esha
Brahman as the object of devout meditation.]
[Footnote 116: So that the real giver of the gifts bestowed by princes
on poets and singers is Brahman.]
[Footnote 117: Or else 'that which is within forms and names.']
[Footnote 118: Viz. as intimating it. Thus An. Gi. and Go. An. against
the accent of /rik/a/h/. Saya/n/a explains /rik/a/h/ as genitive.]
[Footnote 119: O/m/karasya pratikatvena va/k/akatvena lakshakatvena va
brahmatvam uktam, om iti, ka/m/ sukha/m/ tasyarthendriyayogajatva/m/
varayitu/m/ kham iti, tasya bhutaka/s/atva/m/ vyaseddhum pura/n/am ity
uktam. An. Gi.]
