SUTRA II. 3. 27.

तद्गुणसारत्वात्तु तद्व्यपदेशः प्राज्ञवत्॥२.३.२७॥

tadguṇasāratvāttu tadvyapadeśaḥ prājñavat ..2.3.27..

…Tat, that. … Guna, quality, that quality or those qualities, on account of the quality or qualities of that, that quality, namely, the quality of intelligence or knowledge. … Saratvat, being the essence. … Tat, that, namely, knowledge. … Vyapadeshah, designation, slight Prajna-vat, like the term Prajna, when applied to the Lord.

27. The soul gets the designation of knowledge, because that quality is its essential attribute, as the Lord Vishnu is called Prajna or omniscience, because it is His essential attribute. — 245.

COMMENTARY

Though the Jiva is the knower, yet it is sometimes designated as knowledge, because that quality of knowledge is its essential nature. The word ‘Sara’ means a quality which never can be discarded, which is the essential nature of the thing, the absence of which makes the thing nonexistent The above text of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad no doubt designates the soul by the term knowledge and not knower, but it is just like the other texts of the same Upanishad where the Lord Vishnu is called Truth, Knowledge and Infinity, and which does not mean that the Lord is not Omniscient, because He is called Omniscience; that He is not the Knower because He is called Knowledge, etc. In fact, these texts show that the soul is Knower and its essential attribute is knowledge. The next Sutra shows this more clearly.
