Adhikarana XXX — The meditation is separate

and diverse foe each form of the Lord

Doubt: Now arises the doubt: Is meditation on those many forms of one nature or of different nature?

Purvapaksha: The object of meditation being the same in its essential nature, all meditations must be of one kind.

Siddhanta: This view is set aside in the next Sutra.

SUTRA III. 3. 60.

नानाशब्दादिभेदात्॥३.३.६०॥

nānāśabdādibhedāt ..3.3.60..

.. Nana, of different sorts. Shabda-adi, of the terms and others. … Bhedat, due to the variety.

60. The meditation is separate and diverse for each form of the Lord, because of the difference of the words and the rest — 421.

COMMENTARY

In these forms the meditation is indeed of various kinds. In other words, it is different for every form. Why do we say so? Because there is a difference of words, etc. Thus the meditation on Nrisimha is different from meditation on Shri Krishna, because the words Nrisimha and Krishna are different, because the Mantras of Krishna and Nrisimha are different, because these forms are also different, and their ritual of worship is also different. So also we find in the Smriti:

Keshava is worshipped in different modes, with different rituals, in the Krita, Treta Dvapara and Kali ages, He assumes different colours, according to the Yuga, and has different forms and names.

Therefore, the ritual is not the same in meditating on the different forms of the Lord. The Pujas are different.

Adhikarana XXXI — In meditating on one from of the Lord,

The devotee must select one form and stick to it

It has been said above that meditations are of different sorts, according to the nature of forms meditated upon, such as whether it is the form of Nrisimha, etc.

Doubt: Now arises the doubt, whether the worshipper of a particular form, should combine with his worship the meditation on other forms also, or is such combination optional to him.

Purvapaksha: There is no reason why meditation on all these forms should be optional. They must be combined.

Siddhanta: The next Sutra sets aside this view.
