SUTRA III. 3. 65.

समाहारात्॥३.३.६५॥

samāhārāt ..3.3.65..

…. Samaharat, on account of expressing collectively; all-comprehensive.

65. (There is no discrepancy in the statement of the Chhandogya Upanishad) because the description there (is collective and) all-comprehensive, (meant to include other members also). — 420.

COMMENTARY

The word Na, «not» is to be drawn into this Sutra from III., 3. 67., namely, from the third Sutra from this. It is to be read not only in this Sutra, but in the next also. Since the description of other members of the body of the Lord must be supposed to have been described in a single description of the eyes in the Chhandogya Upanishad, there is no defectiveness in that Upanishad. The compassionate gaze mentioned in this Chhandogya Upanishad is illustrative of all the other attributes, such as sweet speaking, etc. A kindly look is an all-comprehensive attribute, including the rest.

In the next Sutra, the Purvapakshin raises an objection to the effect, why should a particular member be thought of with a particular attribute, and why not every member be imagined as having every attribute? The next Sutra, therefore, is a Purvapaksha Sutra, and will be refuted later on.

SUTRA III. 3. 66.

गुणसाधारण्यश्रुतेश्च॥३.३.६६॥

guṇasādhāraṇyaśruteśca ..3.3.66..

.. Guna, of the qualities. … Sadharanya, about the common-ness. … Shruteh, from the statement of the Vedas. .. Cha, and. It includes the combination of all Gunas.

66. (Every member of the Lord’s body must be meditated upon as possessing the attribute of the other member), because of the text which says that there is a common-ness of attributes, (with regard to the members of the Lord’s body). — 427.

COMMENTARY

The texts like «everywhere That hath hands and feet, etc». — (Gita, XIII., 14.) Show that every member of the body of the Lord can discharge the function of every other member. So every member may be meditated upon with the attribute of any other member. (Such as His eyes may be meditated upon as grasping the whole world, and His hands as seeing the whole universe). The Smriti texts, like the following, also declare that every member of the body of the Lord has the power of discharging all the functions of all the senses:

Whose every member of the body possesses the function of all the senses, such as seeing, drinking, hearing, moving, holding, etc.

Therefore, there is no restrictive rule that any particular member of the Lord’s body should be meditated upon with any particular attribute. The word «Cha» indicates that all Camas may also be so included.

Siddhanta: The objection raised in this Sutra is answered in the next.
