SUTRA I. 3. 19.

उत्तराच्चेदाविर्भूतस्वरूपस्तु॥१.३.१९॥

uttarāccedāvirbhūtasvarūpastu ..1.3.19..

.. Uttarat, because of a subsequent passage. .. Chet, if. … Avirbhava, manifestation. Svarupah, the true nature; essential form. … Tu, but.

19. If it be objected that from a subsequent passage, the Jiva is meant, we reply, no; because that passage only declares the manifestation of the true nature of the Jiva, by means of meditation, etc. — 83.

COMMENTARY

The word ‘Tu’, ‘but’, answers the objection raised in the first half of the Sutra. The word ‘Na’ of the last Sutra is understood here also. In the speech of Prajapati reference is made to the Jiva, and it is taught that when the Jiva meditates upon Brahman, then there appear in him these eight attributes, namely, freedom from sin, death, etc. These qualities are essentially the qualities of Brahman, and they only appear or manifest in the Jiva, when it meditates on Brahman. Therefore, the Jiva is not referred to here by the word Dahara, for the essential nature of Brahman is to possess these eight qualities eternally, while in the case of the Jiva these qualities are to be acquired by him by Sadhana or practice. In the case of Dahara these qualities are never hidden, while in the case of the Jiva these qualities are at first hidden by untruth, while later on they manifest in him. Therefore, we find in the Upanishad, the statement that when it has freed itself from the body and has approached the Highest Light, then it appears in its own form. Thus there is a great difference; in the possession of these eight attributes, by the Paramatman, from all eternity; and their temporary manifestation in the Jiva. The above passage also shows, that the Jiva gets these attributes only then, when it has reached the Highest Person called the Uttama Purusha, the Highest Light, Parama Jyotih. Moreover, though these eight qualities manifest in the Jiva, through Sadhana, yet the Jiva can never become the bridge of the two worlds, and the support of the universe, for these attributes are the specific and distinct qualities of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, the Dahara must refer to Brahman.

But if this is so, why a reference has at all been made to Jiva in this section treating of Dahara, in the passage: «Now that released soul, which having risen from this body, etc». — VIII., 3. 4. This question is answered by the next Sutra.
