And from the Shruti which has the word Bhava meaning will, (the rule of acting according to their will is seen to hold in the case of all wise men).

21. If it be said that the text under discussion is but the praise, not the rule, on account of the wise following the ordinary injunctions, we reply, it cannot be purely praise; for the wise are not the Purva, Brahman, (being under the control of the Lord).

(It may be said) that they (the wise) may act as they like is but the simple praise and not the rule; for they also observe the ordinary rules of conduct; but this position cannot be maintained; for they are Apurva, not the absolute first spoken of; and the object of unqualified praise as being far beyond the operation of all injunctions, can be the Supreme Brahman only. The following is in the Brahma Tarka: “All others are subject to the injunctions; Brahma has the permission to do as he likes, while the Supreme Brahman alone is far beyond the operation of all in junctions.”

22. And from the Shruti which has the word Bhava meaning will, (the rule of acting according to their will is seen to hold in the case of all wise men).

And the text is the Tura Shruti which runs thus; “All other individuals have to do as enjoined upon them; in the case of Brahma the rule has regard to his (Bhava; will; but the absolute freedom from the operation of all injunctions is seen only in the highest Brahman.”

23. If it be said that from the above views the texts become unsettled as to their meaning, ice say ‘no’; for (the wise) are (of) specified (classes).

It may seem that the texts such as “In whatever manner, etc.,” cease to have a settled meaning (on account of the various views expressed above). But it is not the case; for in the Gaupavana Shruti the wise are specified or classified thus: “Of three classes indeed are the wise; those that are bound by injunctions, those that are not and those that are guided by their own will. Those that are governed by injunctions are men; those that are not are the gods: and Brahma only is the one that is guided by his own will.
