SBE 48: The Vedanta-Sutras with commentary by Ramanuja, George Thibaut, tr.: Third Pâda: 34. So much; on account of reflection
34. So much; on account of reflection.
Only so much, i.e. only those qualities which have to be included in all meditations on Brahman, without which the essential special nature of Brahman cannot be conceived, i.e. bliss, knowledge, and so on, characterised by absence of grossness and the like. Other qualities, such as doing all works and the like, although indeed following their substrate, are explicitly to be meditated on in special meditations only.--Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the idea of the Imperishable.'
