On account of remembrance; so B\u00e2dari opines.\nOr else the highest Lord may be called 'measured by a span' because he is remembered by means of the mind which is seated in the heart which is measured by a span. Similarly, barley-corns which are measured by means of prasthas are themselves called prasthas. It must be admitted that barley-grains themselves have a certain size which is merely rendered manifest through their being connected with a prastha measure; while the highest Lord himself does not possess a size to be rendered manifest by his connexion with the heart. Still the remembrance (of the Lord by means of the mind) may be accepted as offering a certain foundation for the Sruti passage concerning him who is measured by a span.--Or else 1 the S\u00fbtra may be interpreted to mean that the Lord, although not really measured by a span, is to be remembered (meditated upon) as being of the measure of a span; whereby the passage is furnished with an appropriate sense.--Thus the passage about him who is measured by a span may, according to the opinion of the teacher B\u00e2dari, be referred to the highest Lord, on account of remembrance.\n151:1 Parim\u00e2nasya hridayadv\u00e2r\u00e2ropitasya smaryam\u00e2ne katham \u00e2ropo vishayavishayitvena bhed\u00e2d ity \u00e2sankya vy\u00e2khy\u00e2ntaram \u00e2ha pr\u00e2deseti. \u00c2nanda Giri.","title":"The Vedanta Sutras, Sankaracharya, comm.: First Adhy\u00e2ya, Second P\u00e2da: I, 2, 30","type":"page"}
