SUTRA I. 2. 30.

अभिव्यक्तेरित्याश्मरथ्यः॥१.२.३०॥

abhivyakterityāśmarathyaḥ ..1.2.30..

.. Abhivyakteh, because of manifestation Iti, thus .. Asmarathyah, the sage Asmarathya.

30. The sage Asmarathyah is of opinion that Vaishvanara is represented as having the measure of a span, because thus He manifests himself in the heart of His devotees in meditation. — 61.

COMMENTARY

The devotees who meditate on Brahman in their heart as having the size of a span, see him of that size, because He manifests himself to them in that form. This is the opinion of Ashmarathya.

SUTRA I. 2. 31.

अनुस्मृतेर्बादरिः॥१.२.३१॥

anusmṛterbādariḥ ..1.2.31..

…. Anusmriteh, because of remembering or meditating, .. Iti, thus. … Badarih, the sage Badari.

31. The sage Badari is of opinion that this measure of a span is a mental device, to facilitate meditation. — 62.

COMMENTARY

The size of the heart is that of a span, and as Brahman is meditated as abiding in the lotus of the heart, the man involuntarily associates him with the size of a span. This mental association or suggestion or Anusmriti is the cause why Brahman is called Pradesha Matra, the measure of a span. This is the opinion of Badari.

SUTRA I. 2. 32.

सम्पत्तेरिति जैमिनिः तथा हि दर्शयति॥१.२.३२॥

sampatteriti jaiminiḥ tathā hi darśayati ..1.2.32..

… Sampatteh, because of lordliness or majesty, … Iti, thus. …. Jaiminih, the sage Jaimini. … Tatha, in his way. … Hi, because, … Darshayati, (the Shruti) shows.

32. According to Jaimini the Brahman is said to be of the measure of a span, on account of His mysterious powers, and because the Shruti, in other passages, shows that the Lord possesses such powers. — 63.

COMMENTARY

Though the Lord is all-pervading, yet He is said to have the size of a span, because of His Sampatti or lordliness and possessing inconceivable mysterious power, by which He can appear as such, and this span-body does not limit or condition Him. This is the opinion of Jaimini. The reason for this is that there are direct texts showing that the lord possesses such transcendental powers. As says a verse: ‘…’ «He is one Govinda whose form is Sat, Chit and Ananda». ‘...’ «Who, though one, appears in manifold forms». The texts like these show that on account of His inconceivable power, apparently contradictory attributes are co-existent in Him. Such as, though He is knowledge, He appears as having a body, though He is one, He appears as many, etc.,. This will be explained in greater detail as we proceed further. Though all-pervading there is no impropriety in ascribing to Him a limited form.
