• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: The view that the conscious subject is something unreal, due to the ahamkâra, cannot be maintained
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: The conscious subject persists in deep sleep
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: The conscious subject persists in the state of release
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: In cases of Scripture conflicting with Perception, Scripture is not stronger. The True cannot be known through the Untrue
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: No scriptural texts teach a Brahman devoid of all difference

• ―Scripture does not teach that Release is due to the knowledge of a non-qualified Brahman.--the meaning of 'tat tvam asi.'
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: Summary statement as to the way in which different scriptural texts are to reconciled
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: Nescience cannot be terminated by the simple act of cognising Brahman as the universal self
• ―The Vedântin aiming to ascertain the nature of Brahman from Scripture,...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 2. Brahman is that from which the origin of this world proceed
• ―3. Because Scripture is the source of the knowledge of Brahman
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 4. The connexion of Scripture with the highest aim of man
• ―5. Seeing that which is not founded on Scripture...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 6. ...the word 'seeing' has a secondary (figurative) meaning
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 7. Because release is taught of him who takes his stand on it
• ―8. And because there is no statement of its having to be set aside
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 9. And on account of the contradiction of the initial statement
• ―10. On account of (the individual soul) going to the Self
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 11. On account of the uniformity of view
• ―12. And because it is directly stated in Scripture
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 13. The Self consisting of Bliss is the highest Self on account of multiplication
• ―14. If, on account of its being a word denoting an effect...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 15. And because he is declared to be the cause of thatra
• ―16. And because that (Brahman) which is referred to in the mantra...
• ―17. Not the other, on account of impossibility
• ―18. And on account of the declaration of difference
• ―19. And on account of desire, there is no regard to what is inferred
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 20. And Scripture teaches the joining of this with that
• ―21. The one within the sun and the eye...
• ―22. And on account of the declaration of difference
• ―23. Ether is Brahman...
• ―24. For the same reason breath is Brahman
• ―25. The light is Brahman...
• ―26. If it be objected that Brahman is not denoted...
• ―27. And thus also, because thus only the designation of the beings...
• ―28. If it be said that Brahman is not recognised...
• ―29. Prâna is Brahman...
• ―30. If it be said that Brahman is not denoted...
• ―31. The instruction given by Indra about himself...
• ―32. If it be said that Brahman is not meant...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: Second Pâda
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 1. Everywhere; because there is taught what is known
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 2. And because the qualities meant to be stated are possible in Brahman
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 3. But, on account of impossibility, not the embodied soul
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 4. And because there is (separate) denotation of the object and the agent
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 5. On account of the difference of words
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 6. And on account of Smriti
• ―7. Should it be said that the passage does not refer to Brahman...
• ―8. Should it be said that there is attainment of fruition...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 9. The eater is the highest Self on account of there being taken all that is movable and immovable
• ―10. And on account of the topic of the whole section
• ―11. The two entered into the cave...
• ―12. And on account of distinctive qualities
• ―13. The Person within the eye is the highest Self...
• ―14. And on account of the statement as to abode...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 15. And on account of the text referring only to what is characterised by pleasure
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 16. For that very reason that ether is Brahman
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 17. And on account of the statement of the way of him who has heard the Upanishads
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 18. Not any other, on account of non-permanency of abode, and of impossibility
• ―19. The internal Ruler ... is the highest Self
• ―20. And not that which Smriti assumes...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 21. For both also speak of it as something different
• ―22. That which possesses the qualities of invisibility...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 23. Not the two others, on account of distinction and statement of difference
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 24. And on account of the description of its form
• ―25. Vaisvânara is the highest Self...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 26. That which the text refers to is an inferential mark--thus
• ―27. Should it be said that it is not so, on account of the word...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 28. For the same reasons not the divinity and the element
• ―29. Gaimini thinks that there is no objection to the word 'Agni'...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 30. On account of definiteness; thus Âsmarathya opines
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 31. On account of meditation, Bâdari thinks
• ―32. On account of imaginative identification, thus Gaimini thinks...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 33. Moreover, they record him in that
• ―Third Pâda: 1. The abode of heaven, earth is the highest Self...
• ―2. And on account of its being declared that to which the released have to resort
• ―3. Not that which is inferred...
• ―4. On account of the declaration of difference
• ―5. On account of the subject-matter
• ―6. And on account of abiding and eating
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 7. The bhûman is the highest Self
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 8. And on account of the suitability of the attributes
• ―9. The Imperishable is Brahman, on account of its supporting that which is the end of ether
• ―10. And this supporting springs from command...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 11. And on account of the exclusion of what is of another nature than Brahman
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 12. On account of his being designated as the object of seeing, the highest Self is that object
• ―13. The small ether is Brahman...
• ―14. On account of the going and of the word...
• ―15. And on account of there being observed in that small ether...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 16. And on account of the settled meaning
• ―17. If it be said that on account of reference to the other one he is meant; we say no...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 18. ... the soul in so far as its true nature has become manifest
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 19. And the reference has a different meaning
• ―20. If it be said, owing to the scriptural declaration of smallness...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 21. And on account of the imitation of that
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 22. The same is declared by Smriti also
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 23. On account of the term, the one measured
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 24. But with reference to the heart, men being qualified
• ―25. Also beings above them, i.e. men...
• ―26. If it be said that there results a contradiction to work; we deny this
• ―27. If it be said that a contradiction will result with regard to words...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 28. And for this very reason eternity of the Veda
• ―29. And on account of the equality of names and forms there is no contradiction...
• ―30. On account of the impossibility of qualification...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 31. And on account of (meditating on the part of the gods) being in the Light
• ―33. That grief of him arose...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 34. And on account of Gânasruti kshattriya-hood being understood
• ―35. On account of the inferential sign further on...
• ―36. On account of the reference to ceremonial purifications...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 37. And on account of the procedure, on the ascertainment of the non-being of that
• ―38. And on account of the prohibition of hearing, studying, and performance of (Vedic) matter
• ―39. And on account of Smriti
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 40. On account of the trembling
• ―41. On account of light being seen
• ―42. The ether, on account of the designation of something different, and so on
• ―43. On account of difference in deep sleep and departing
• ―44. And on account of such words as Lord
• ―Fourth Pâda: 1. If it be said that some mention that which rests on Inference ...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 2. But the subtle body, on account of its capability
• ―3. Matter in its subtle state subserves an end...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 4. And on account of there being no statement of its being an object of knowledge
• ―5. ... the intelligent Self is meant...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 6. And of three only there is this mention and question
• ―7. And as in the case of the 'Great.'
• ―8. On account of there being no special characteristic; as in the case of the cup
• ―9. But she begins with light; for thus some read in their text
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 10. And on account of the teaching of formation ... there is no contradiction; as in the case of the honey
• ―11. Not from the mention of the number even, on account of the diversity and of the excess
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 12. The breath, and so on, on the ground of the complementary passage
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 13. By light, food not being mentioned in the text of some
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 14. And on account of Brahman as described being declared to be the cause with regard to Ether, and so on
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 15. From connexion
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 16. Because it denotes the world
• ―17....the inferential marks of the individual soul and the chief vital air
• ―18. But Gaimini thinks that it has another purport...
• ―19. On account of the connected meaning of the sentences
• ―20. It is a mark indicating that the promissory statement is proved...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 21. Because (the soul) when it will depart is such; thus Audulomi thinks
• ―22. On account of Brahman's abiding within the individual soul...
• ―23. Brahman is the material cause...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 24. And on account of the statement of reflection
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 25. And on account of both being directly declared
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 26. On account of the Self making itself
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 27. Owing to modification
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 28. And because it is called the womb
• ―29. Herewith all (texts) are explained, explained
• ―First Pâda: 1. ... want of room for other Smritis
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 2. And on account of the non-perception of truth on the part of others
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 3. Hereby the Yoga is refuted
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 4. Not, on account of the difference of character of that; and its being such (appears) from Scripture
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 5. But there is denotation of the superintending deities, on account of distinction and entering
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 7. If it be said that the effect is non-existing; we say no
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 8. On account of such consequences in reabsorption the Vedânta-texts would be inappropriate
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 9. Not so; as there are parallel instances
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 10. And on account of the objections to his view
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 11. Also in consequence of the ill-foundedness of reasoning
• ―12. Should it be said that inference is to be carried on in a different way...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 13. Thereby also the remaining theories which are not comprised within the Veda are explained
• ―14. If it be said that from Brahman becoming an enjoyer...
• ―15. The non-difference of the world from that Brahman...
• ―16. And because (the cause) is perceived in the existence of the effect
• ―17. And on account of the existence of that which is posterior
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 19. And like a piece of cloth
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 20. And as the different vital airs
• ―21. From the designation of the 'other' as non-different from Brahman...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 22. But Brahman is additional, on account of the declaration of difference
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 23. And as in the analogous case of stones and the like, there is impossibility of that
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 24. ... as in the case of milk
• ―25. And as in the case of the gods...
• ―26. Or the consequence of the entire Brahman entering into the effect...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 27. But on account of Scripture; Brahman's possession of various powers being founded upon the word
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 28. And thus in the Self; for there are manifold powers
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 29. And on account of the defects of his view also
• ―30. And the divinity is endowed with all powers, because that is seen
• ―31. Not, on account of the absence of organs...
• ―32. Brahman is not the cause; on account of the world having the nature of what depends on a motive
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 33. But it is mere sport, as in ordinary life
• ―34. Not inequality and cruelty...
• ―35. If it be said 'not so, on account of non-distinction of deeds'...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 36. And because all the attributes are proved to be present in Brahman
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: Second Pâda: 1. Not that which is inferred, on account of the impossibility of construction, and on account of activity
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 2. If it be said--like milk or water; there also intelligence guides
• ―3. And because from the independence of the Pradhâna there would follow the non-existence of what is different from creation
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 4. Nor like grass and so on; because milk does not exist elsewhere
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 5. And if you say--as the man and the stone; thus also
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 6. And on account of the impossibility of the relation of principal and subordinate matter
• ―7. And if another inference be made the result remains unchanged...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 8. And even if it be admitted; on account of the absence of a purpose
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 9. And it is objectionable on account of the contradictions
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 10. Or in the same way as the big and long from the short and the atomic
• ―11. On both assumptions also there is no motion, and thence non-being of the origination of the world
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 12. And because owing to the acknowledgment of samavâya, there results a regressus in infinitum from equality
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 13. And because the world also would thus be eternal
• ―14. And on account of the atoms having colour
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 15. And as there are objections in both cases
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 16. And as it is not accepted, it is altogether disregarded
• ―17. Even on the aggregate with its two causes...
• ―18. If it be said that this is to be explained through successive causality...
• ―19. And on account of the cessation of the preceding...
• ―20. There not being a cause, there results contradiction...
• ―21. There is non-establishment...
• ―22. And on account of the objections...
• ―23. And in the case of space also...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 25. Not from non-entity, this not being observed
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 26. And thus there would be accomplishment on the part of non-active people also
• ―27. Not non-existence, on account of consciousness
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 28. And on account of difference of nature they are not like dreams
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 29. The existence is not, on account of the absence of perception
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 30. And on account of its being unproved in every way
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 31. Not so, on account of the impossibility in one
• ―33. And likewise non-entireness of the Self
• ―34. Nor also is there non-contradiction...
• ―35. And on account of the endurance of the final size...
• ―36. The system of the Lord must be disregarded...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 37. And on account of the impossibility of rulership
• ―38. ... as in the case of the organs...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 39. Finiteness or absence of omniscience
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 40. On account of the impossibility of origination
• ―41. And there is not origination of the instrument from the agent
• ―42. Or, if they are of the nature of that which is knowledge...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 43. And on account of contradiction
• ―Third Pâda: 1. Not Ether...
• ―2. But there is
• ―3. It has a secondary sense...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 4. There may be a double sense
• ―5. The non-abandonment of the promissory statement...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 6. As follows also from other texts
• ―7. But the division origination extends over all effects...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 8. Hereby air is explained
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 9. But there is non-origination of that which is only
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 10. Fire is produced thence
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 11. Water from fire
• ―12. Earth from water
• ―13. Earth on account of the subject-matter...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 14. But he; from the inferential mark supplied by their reflection
• ―15. But the order of succession...
• ―16. If it be said that knowledge and mind...
• ―17. But that which abides in the things movable and immovable
• ―18. Not the Self...
• ―19. For this very reason the individual soul is a knower
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 20. On account of its passing out, moving and returning
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 21. And on account of the latter two being effected through the Self
• ―22. If it be said that the soul is not atomic...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 23. And on account of the very word, and of measure
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 24. ... as in the case of sandal-ointment
• ―25. Should it be said that this is not so on account of specialisation of abode...
• ―26. Or on account of its quality as light
• ―27. There is distinction as in the case of smell...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 28. On account of the separate statement
• ―29. But the Self is designated as that because it has that quality...
• ―30. And there is no objection, since the quality of knowledge exists wherever the Self is...
• ―31. Since there may be manifestation of that which exists...
• ―32. There would result permanent consciousness or non-consciousness...
• ―33. The soul is an agent...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 34. On account of taking and the declaration as to its moving about
• ―35. And on account of the designation of the Self as the agent in actions...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 36. There would be absence of definite rule, as in the case of consciousness
• ―37. On account of the inversion of power
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 38. And on account of the absence of samâdhi
• ―39. And as the carpenter, in both ways
• ―40. But from the highest, this being declared by Scripture
• ―41. But with a view to the efforts made...
• ―42. The soul is a part...
• ―43. And on account of the mantra
• ―44. Moreover it is so stated in Smriti
• ―45. But as in the case of light...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 46. And Smriti texts declare this
• ―47. Permission and exclusion result from connexion with a body...
• ―48. And on account of non-connectedness there is no confusion
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 49. And it is a mere apparent argument
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 50. On account of the non-determination of the adrishtas
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 51. And it is thus also in the case of purposes and so on
• ―52. Should it be said that that is possible owing to the difference of place...
• ―Fourth Pâda: 1. Thus the prânas
• ―2. The scriptural statement of the plural
• ―3. On account of speech having for its antecedent that
• ―4. They are seven...
• ―5. But the hands...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 6. And they are minute
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 7. And the best
• ―8. Neither air nor function...
• ―9. But like the eye and the rest...
• ―10. And there is no objection on account of its not having an activity
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 11. It is designated as having five functions like mind
• ―12. And it is minute
• ―13. But the rule over the prânas on the part of Fire...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 14. And on account of the eternity of this
• ―15. They, with the exception of the best, are organs...
• ―16. On account of scriptural statement of difference...
• ―17. But the making of names and forms (belongs) to him who renders tripartite...
• ―18. Flesh is of earthy nature...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 19. But on account of their distinctive nature there is that designation, that designation
• ―First Pâda: 1. In obtaining another of that, it goes enveloped, as appears from question and explanation
• ―2. But on account of water consisting of the three elements; on account of predominance
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 3. And on account of the going of the prânas
• ―4. If it be said that it is not so on account of scriptural statement as to going to Agni...
• ―5. Should it be said, on account of absence of mention in the first reply...
• ―6. 'On account of this not being stated by Scripture'; not so...
• ―7. Or it is metaphorical, on account of their not knowing the Self
• ―8. On the passing away of the works, with a remainder...
• ―9. 'On account of conduct'; not so, since karana connotes works
• ―10. 'There is purposelessness'; not so, on account of the dependence on that
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 11. But only good and evil works, thus Bâdari thinks
• ―12. Of those also who do not perform sacrifices...
• ―13. But of the others having enjoyed in Samyamana, there is ascent and descent...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 14. Smriti texts also declare this
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 15. Moreover there are seven
• ―16. On account of his activity there also, there is no contradiction
• ―17. But, of knowledge and work--as these are the leading topics
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 18. Not in the case of the third place, as it is thus perceived
• ―19. It moreover is recorded, in the world
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 20. And on account of its being seen
• ―21. The third term includes that which springs from heat
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 22. There is entering into similarity of being with those, there being a reason
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 23. Not very long; on account of special statement
• ―24. Into plants animated by other souls
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 25. It is unholy. Not so, on the ground of Scripture
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: First Pâda: 26. After that conjunction with him who performs the act of generation
• ―27. From the yoni the body
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: Second Pâda: 1. In the intermediate sphere the creation is effected by the soul
• ―2. And some state the soul to be the shaper...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 3. But it is mere Mâyâ; on account of the true nature of the soul not being fully manifested
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 4. But owing to the wish of the highest it is hidden; for from that are its bondage and the opposite state
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 5. Or that (results) also from connexion with the body
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 6. And it is suggestive, according to Scripture; this the experts also declare
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 7. The absence of that takes place in the nâdîs and in the Self
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 8. Hence the awaking from that
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 9. But the same, on account of work, remembrance, text, and injunction
• ―10. In the swooning person there is half-combination...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 11. Not on account of place even is there any imperfection of the Highest; for everywhere it is described as having twofold characteristics
• ―12. Should it be said 'on account of difference'...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 13. Some also teach thus
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 14. For Brahman is without form merely, since it is the principal agent with regard to that
• ―15. And in the same way as a Brahman consisting of light; the texts thus not being devoid of meaning
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 16. And the text says so much only
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 17. This Scripture also shows, and it is also stated in Smriti
• ―18. For this very reason comparisons, such as reflected images of the sun and the like
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 19. But because it is not apprehended like water, there is no equality
• ―20. The participation on Brahman's part in increase and decrease...
• ―21. For the text denies the previously declared so-muchness; and declares more than that
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 22. That is unmanifested; for this Scripture declares
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 23. Also in perfect conciliation, according to Scripture and Smriti
• ―24. And there is non-difference...
• ―25. Hence (Brahman is distinguished) by what is infinite...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 26. But on account of twofold designation, as the snake and its coils
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 27. Or else like light and its abode, both being fire
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 28. Or else in the manner stated above
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 29. And on account of denial
• ―30. There is something higher than that...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 31. But on account of resemblance
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 32. It subserves the purpose of thought; as in the case of the feet
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 33. Owing to difference of place, as in the case of light, and so on
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 34. And on account of possibility
• ―35. Thus, from the denial of anything else
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 36. The omnipresence possessed by that, understood from the declaration of extent
• ―37. From thence the reward; on account of possibility
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 38. And on account of scriptural declaration
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 39. For the same reasons Gaimini (thinks it to be) religious action
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Second Pâda: 40. But the former, Bâdarâyana thinks, on account of the designation of deities as the cause
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: Third Pâda: 1. What is understood from all the Vedânta-texts is one, on account of the non-difference of injunction and the rest
• ―2. If it be said that the vidyâs are not one on account of difference...
• ―3. For the sirovrata concerns the mode of the study of the Veda...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 4. Scripture also declares this
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 5. (Meditation) thus being equal, there is combination of gunas
• ―6. If it be said that there is difference on account of the text; we say no; on account of non-difference
• ―7. Or not, on account of difference of subject-matter; as in the case of the attribute of being higher than the high
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 8. If that be declared on account of name; we object
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 9. And this is appropriate, on account of the extension
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 10. On account of non-difference of everything, those elsewhere
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 11. Bliss and other qualities, as belonging to the subject of the qualities
• ―12. Such qualities as having joy for its head, and so on, are not established...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 13. But the others, on account of equality with the thing
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 14. For meditation, owing to the absence of purpose
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 15. And on account of the term 'Self.'
• ―16. There is reference to the Self, as in other places...
• ―17. If it be said 'on account of connexion'...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 18. The new (thing is enjoined); on account of the statement of what has to be done
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 19. And (the qualities) thus being equal, on account of non-difference
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 20. On account of connexion, thus elsewhere also
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 21. Or not so, on account of difference
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 22. The text also declares this
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 23. And for the same reason the holding together and the pervading the sky
• ―24. And although they both be meditations on man...
• ―25. On account of the difference of sense of piercing...
• ―26. But in the case of the getting rid of it has to be combined with the obtaining...
• ―27. At departing; there being nothing to be reached...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 28. As it is desired; on account of there being no contradiction of either
• ―29. There is meaning of the soul's going only on the twofold hypothesis; for otherwise there is contradiction
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 30. That assumption is justified; on account of the perception of things which are marks of that; as in ordinary experience
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 31. Of those who have a certain office there is subsistence (of their works) as long as the office lasts
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 32. There is no restriction since all have to go on that path
• ―33. But the conceptions of the Imperishable are to be comprised in all meditations
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 34. So much; on account of reflection
• ―35. Should it be said that the former reply refers to that Self to which the aggregate of material things belongs...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 45. And on account of the transfer
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 46. But it is a meditation only, on account of assertion and what is seen
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 47. And on account of the greater strength of direct statement, and so on, there is no refutation
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 48. On account of connexions and the rest, as in the case of the separateness of other cognitions
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 51. Some, on account of the existence of a Self within a body
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 52. But this is not so, but rather difference; since it is of the being of that; as in the case of intuition
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 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
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 55. There is pre-eminence of plenitude, as in the case of the sacrifice; for thus Scripture shows
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 56. The meditations are separate, on account of the difference of words, and so on
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 57. Option, on account of the non-difference of result
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 59. They belong to the constituent members, as the bases
• ―60. And on account of injunction
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 61. On account of rectification
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 62. And on account of the declaration of a quality being common to all the Vedas
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 63. Rather not, as the text does not declare their going together
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 64. And because (Scripture) shows it
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 3. On account of such conduct being seen
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 4. On account of direct scriptural statement
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 5. On account of the taking hold together
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 9. But the declarations are equal.
• ―10. (It is) non-comprehensive
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 18. A reference only ... on account of absence of injunction
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 19. It is to be accomplished, ... on account of scriptural statement of equality
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 22. And on account of the words denoting becoming
• ―23. .. the stories told in the Upanishads ...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 30. This is said in Smriti also
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 31. ... as to non-proceeding according to liking
• ―32. The works of the âsramas ...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 33. And on account of co-operativeness
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 34. In any case they are the same, on account of twofold inferential signs
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 35. ... knowledge not to be overpowered
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 36. Also in the case of those outside, as this is seen
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 37. Smriti also states this
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 38. And there is the promotion of knowledge through special acts of duty
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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...
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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
• ―SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Fourth Pâda: 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...
• ―First Pâda: 1. Repetition...
