SUTRA III. 4. 45.

आर्त्विज्यमित्यौडुलोमिः तस्मै हि परिक्रियते॥३.४.४५॥

ārtvijyamityauḍulomiḥ tasmai hi parikriyate ..3.4.45..

… Artvijyam, the priest’s work, … Iti, just like. … Audulomih…. Audulomi thinks. Tasmai, for that, … Hi, because. Parikriyate, he is employed. He is purchased.

45. According to Audulomi the Lord sells himself to His devotees like the sacrificial priest to his Yajamanas. — 474.

COMMENTARY

The word «Iti» in the Sutra has the meaning of «like». The supporting of His Nirapeksha devotees by the Lord, is like the supporting of his Yajamanas by the sacrificial priest called Ritvij. Because the Lord is purchased by those Bhaktas, in order that He may supply all their worldly wants. As says the Vishnu Dharma:

The Lover of His devotees sells His very self to those Bhaktas of His in exchange of a mere Tulasi leaf or a handful of water.

The sacrificial priests are as if purchased or engaged by the Yajamana to perform all his sacrifices in their detail in lieu of the foe which he gives them. Audulomi being a believer in impersonal God, his Bhakti is a sort of barter, and is wanting in that higher element of Bhakti which consists in doing all acts in order to please the Lord and not from a spirit of exchange. But the Nirapekshas are higher than Audulomi Bhaktas because they do not cherish even the desire that the Lord should supply their worldly wants.

SUTRA III. 4. 46.

पाठभेद श्रुतेश्च॥३.४.४६॥

pāṭhabheda śruteśca 3.4.46

… Shruteh, because of the Vedic statement. … Cha, and.

46. And from the Vedic text also the same is learnt. — 475.

COMMENTARY

In the Chhandogya Upanishad it is taught that the prayers of the sacrificial priests are potent enough to procure all the desires of the Yajamana who engages the priest. Thus in Chhandogya Upanishad, 1., 7. 9, it is said:

Now through this alone (i.e., through the grace of the Lord dwelling in the eye) he obtains all the lower worlds and the desires of human beings. Therefore, the Udgatri who knows this should say (to his Yajamana), «To accomplish what particular desire of yours, shall I sing out». For he, who knowing this, sings out the Saman, is able to accomplish the desires (of his Yajamana) through his song, yea, through his song.

This text of the Upanishad clearly showy that the fruit of the work performed by the priest accrues to the client and not to him.

Thus it has been demonstrated that the Lord supplies the wants of His Nirapeksha devotees, because he is purchased by them, in the same way as the priest supplies all the wants of his Yajamanas by his prayers.
