Adhikarana IV — The Samanvaya

Vishaya: Now in order to strengthen the above view, the author teaches that Brahman is the object of knowledge taught in all the Vedas — all the Vedas declare Brahman. Thus we find in Gopala Upanishad: «He is sung by all the Vedas». So also in the Katha Upanishad (l. 2. 15).

That Supreme whom all the Vedas recall, whom all penances proclaim, whom men desire when they live as religious students.

Doubt: Is it a fact that Vishnu alone is declared by all the Vedas? or is it not a fact?

Purvapaksha: It is wrong to say that the Vedas teach uniformly about Brahman. For we find that they teach Karma also, about sacrifices and many other things. Thus some portions teach that by performing kariri (sacrifice) — rain falls, and that by performing Putryakmyaishti — a son will be bore, and that by performing Jyotishtoma Yajna, one will attain heaven. The Vedas further teach various methods of performing sacrifices. Therefore, it is not quite accurate to say that all the Vedas uniformly declare Brahman only. For passages teaching karma find their full scope, and exhaust their meaning, by teaching the performances of certain sacrifices and nothing more. Hence they cannot be applied to Vishnu.

Siddhanta: To this the author replies by the following Sutra: —

SUTRA I. 1. 4.

तत्तुसमन्वयात् ॥१.१.४॥

tattusamanvayāt ..1.1.4..

.. Tat, that, namely the fact that Vishnu is the chief topic of knowledge in all the Vedas. … Tu, but, a word removing doubt. .. Samanvayat, by concordance: by right discussion, and interpretation.

Note: — The Sangati is akshepiki.
