दहर उत्तरेभ्यः॥१.३.१४॥

dahara uttarebhyaḥ ..1.3.14..

.. Daharah, the small, … Uttarebhyah, because of the subsequent arguments.

14. The small ether in the lotus of the heart is Brahman, because the subsequent arguments establish it to be so. — 78.

COMMENTARY

The «small ether» is Lord Vishnu, and nothing else. Why? Because of the subsequent arguments to be found in the supplementary passage of the text above given. If the ether within the heart did not mean Brahman, but denoted the elemental ether, then the comparison instituted in the passage «as large as that elemental ether is, so large is this ether within the heart», would be wholly inappropriate. This is one argument. The next is: The small other is said to be the support of the earth and heaven, which could not apply to the elemental ether. Nor would the attributes like freedom from evil, etc., be appropriate to the elemental ether or to the individual self (Jiva). In this Shruti the worshipper is taught that the city of Brahman is his body, and in a portion of this body is the heart called the lotus which is the palace of Brahman, and he is taught that in this palace, in this small lotus, there is the small ether, and then what is within that small ether that is to be sought for, that is to be understood. Therefore, it refers to the Supreme Brahman, because this small ether is described to be free from evil, free from old age, free from grief, etc. Therefore, the above passage must be explained by saying that the Supreme Brahman is to be sought in the small other which is free from evil, etc. Therefore, the Dahara is Vishnu and Vishnu only.
