SUTRA I. 3. 31.

मध्वादिष्वसंभवादनधिकारं जैमिनिः॥१.३.३१॥

madhvādiṣvasaṃbhavādanadhikāraṃ jaiminiḥ ..1.3.31..

.. Madhu, in honey. .. Adishu, and in the rest .. Asambhavat, on account of the impossibility… Anadhikaram, non-qualification, … Jaiminih, the sage called Jaimini.

31. Jaimini is of opinion, that the Devas are not qualified to undertake meditations like Madhu Vidya and so on, because of the impossibility. — 95.

COMMENTARY

According to the sage Jaimini, the Devas are not entitled to undertake meditations like Madhu Vidya, etc., because it is impossible for one and the same person to be the object of meditation as well as the person meditating. Moreover the Devas like Vasu, etc., already belong to the class of Vasus. etc., and so in their case, tin fruit being already accomplished, the meditation is useless. The Devas have nothing to gain by such meditation; and so they have no desire for this meditation; for they already possess that which is the fruit of such meditation. For both these reasons, Jaimini holds that the Devas are not qualified for meditations, like Madhu Vidya etc., in which they themselves are the objects of meditation. He gives another reason for his view.

SUTRA I. 3. 32.

ज्योतिषि भावाच्च॥१.३.३२॥

jyotiṣi bhāvācca ..1.3.32..

... Jyotishi, in the light, in the Highest Brahman, .. Bhavat, because of the existence, because it consists of. .. Cha, and.

32. And because the meditation of the Devas consists in worshipping the Light, therefore, they do not stand in need of any lower meditation. — 90.

COMMENTARY

In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, we find that tin; Devas meditate on the Great Light, the Supreme Brahman alone, and they do not worship anything lower. That text is as follows:

Him from whom proceed the year along with the days, Him the Devas meditate upon as the Light of Lights, as Immortal Life. (Br. Up., IV, 4. 16).

Both men and Devas have this in common, that both are entitled to meditate on the Supreme Brahman, the Light of Lights. The special mention that the Devas meditate on this Light of Lights, indicates, by implication, that they are not entitled to (or rather do not stand in need of) meditations on other objects than the Supreme Brahman.

The view of the Purvapaksha given in these two Sutras, is thus controverted by the author.
