5. According to Jaimini, the freed soul manifests with all the attributes given by Brahman, because of the reference and the rest, (as contained in other passages of the Upanishad). — 542.

COMMENTARY

The word «Brahma» of the Sutra means, accomplished or completed by the Brahman. [It is a word formed by the affix ‘…’ (An), under Panini (IV., 2. 68).] The Mukta appears with the divinely given attributes, mentioned in the Chhandogya Upanishad (VIII., 7. 1) beginning with «who is free from sins», and ending with «whose will is true». These are the eight Gunas or qualities, which he then possesses. Namely, (i) he is free from sins, (ii) free from old age, (iii) free from death, (iv) free from grief, (v) free from hunger, (vi) free from thirst, (vii) he has desires which are instantly realised, and (viii), a will which accomplishes its resolution spontaneously.

Why do we say so? Because of the reference and the rest. In the above passage of the Chhandogya Upanishad (VIII., 7. 1.) Prajapati suggests that freed souls also come to possess the eight attributes of Atman, which he has proclaimed so widely: and which reaches the ears of the Devas in heaven, and the Asuras in the nether world.

The words «and the rest» ‘…’ of the Sutra indicate that the soul not only possesses these eight attributes, but that it acts in the way mentioned in the same Upanishad.

«The Mukta moves about there laughing, playing and rejoicing, with women, with carriages, with other Muktas of his own period or of the past Kalpas. (So great is his ecstasy) that he does not remember even the person standing near him, nor even his own body».

Therefore, Jaimini is of opinion that the Mukta soul manifests these eight-fold attributes and acts as mentioned in this Upanishad. In support of his view there is a Smriti passage also:

Yatha na hriyate jyotsna», etc. (?).

As a Purvapaksha, the author next gives the opinion of Audulomi, who holds the opinion that the Mukta soul possesses only one attribute, namely, that of pure intelligence.
