SUTRA I. 1. 13.

विकारशब्दान्नेतिचेन्न प्राचुर्यात्॥१.१.१३॥

vikāraśabdānneticenna prācuryāt ..1.1.13..

.. Vikara, modification .. Shabdat, because of the word (Mayat affix denoting modification). .. Na, not, .. Iti, thus. … Chet, if. … Na, not. …. Prachuryat, because of abundance. The term Maya in Anandamaya denotes here «abundance», and not «modification».

13. If it be objected that Anandamaya is not Brahman, because the affix Mayat has the force of modification; we say, no, because the affix here denotes abundance. — 13.

COMMENTARY

The Anandamaya does not mean, «Who is a modification of «Ananda». «Why? Because the affix Mayat has also the force of denoting abundance (see Panini, V, 4. 21) Therefore, Anandamaya means he who has abundance of bliss. Moreover the word Annamaya occurs in the Taittiriya Upanishad, which is a portion of the Vedas, and so it is a Vaidic word. Now even according to grammar, the affix Mayat can never come in the Vedas with the force of modification, after a word of more than two syllables. The word Ananda consists of three syllables. Therefore, according to Vedic grammar, Mayat can never be applied to this word with the force of modification. (Panini, IV, 3. 150).

The word Anandamaya does not mean absence of sorrow. It is a positive attribute of Brahman and not a mere negative of pain. Says the Subala Upanishad: ‘He is the inner self of all, free from evil, the divine one, the one God Narayana’. he also the Vishnu Purani, ‘He is the highest of the high, the supreme God, in whom there are no pains’. Therefore, the affix Mayat which has the force of abundance, shows here the real essence of the thing denoted by the word to which it is added, that is to say, Anandamaya means ‘He whoso essential nature or Svarupa is Ananda’. Thus as we say, ‘The sun has abundance of light’, it really means, the sun whose essential nature is light is called Jyotirmayah. Therefore, Anandamaya is not Jiva but Ishvara.

Note: — The fact is that Anandamaya is equal to Anandasvarupa. «He whose essential nature is joy». Similarly. Vijnanamaya is Vijannasvarupa, Manomaya is Manosvarupa, etc., except in the case of Pranamaya, where Maya has the force of Vikara. Manas also is a word of two syllables and the affix ought to have the force of modification or Vikara. But as the Vedas are said to be the various limbs of the Manomaya (sec the description of Manomaya) we cannot say that they are modifications of Manas.
