42. (He who tee t dreamt it Brahman only on account of scripture describing both Brahman and tout) as distinct both in the state, of sleep and in departing.

From the texts, “Embraced by the omniscient Lord, he perceives nothing within or without” (Bri. VI. iii. 21); “With the omniscient Lord seated in him, he goes, casting off (the body)” (Bri. VI. iii. 35), which state the distinguishing characteristics, it is concluded that the Supreme Lord is the thing untouched (un-assailed) by (anything extraneous), but not the soul.

The seeing of dreams, etc., also properly belongs to Him alone, for He is omniscient.

The eternal glory which has been predicated of Brahman seems to be predicated of a Brahmana also in the text, “This eternal glory belongs to the Brahmana.” (Bri. VI. iv. 23). This Brahmana from the subsequent text, “He is indeed this great Aja the Self” (Bri. VI. 24), seems to be the four-faced Brahman, especially so, on account of the word Aja occurring in it. And in a previous Sutra, “Above them, etc.” the gods, it has been shown, attain to celestial situations by (the acquisition of superior knowledge and by a course of sacrificial acts, (while this Brahmana possessed of eternal glory cannot be included among the gods). To refute this objection the Sutrakara says:

43. From the term ‘Lord’ etc., (this Brahmana is but Vishnu, not Virincha).

“He is the Supreme Lord of all. He is the Lord of the lords that rule the world. He indeed is this (Samana) but unlike what is seen, what is heard, etc.” (Bri. VI. iv. 22). From the appellations, “the Supreme Lord,” &c. occurring in these and similar texts, the eternally glorious is Vishnu only. “Also He is the ruler of the released for He surpasses the beings of this world” (T, A. III. 12). “The seven who are endowed with the power of the glorious and worshipful Lord stand appointed in their (posts of) various duties, by the command of Vishnu — the seven in whom the world lies latent” (Rv. 1. 164. 36).

“He who is everywhere, but not heard, etc.” (A. A. III. ii. 4). From these texts, it is plain, all these terms (of course) belong to Vishnu only.
