'

Interpenetrating the earth,do I, by My vigour,

support creatures (thereon).'

G'<f=earth; Q;ViT=:vigour or energy irresistible.

Entering into the earth, I support all creatures thereon by

My vigour.

3's'irrfB wfr:&c.

13. '

And becoming the juicy moon,I do nourish all

the plants.'

Similarly, I become the moon full ofthe essence{rasa)

ofambrosia,and nourish the growth of plants.

 

14. '

Becoming Vaisvanara, I do take possession of

the bodies of living creatures;and joined with

Prana and Apana,do digest the four-fold food.*

yarsi'dttara=the digesting heat in the stomach. That,

I become in the bodies ofall living beings {prdnayah), and

joined with the varieties of vital breath, viz., Prana and

Apana,digest the four classes offood which they eat, viz:

that which is(i)chewed {khddvd),(2)sucked (sosAya), (3I

licked ilehya)and(4)drunk (peya).

Inasmuch as the moon,and fire(Vaisvanara)constitute

Parama-purusha's expressed glory,'

the expressions'

I,

becomingthe moon'

(XV-13).,'Becoming Vaisvanara*(XV-

14)etc.,are meant to indicate the predicated relation those

objects stand to Him. That such relation subsists with

referenceto all things is next proved:

&c.

15. '

Verily am I enshrined in the hearts of all;from

Me is memory,wisdom,and deprivation. And

I,by all the Vedas, am to be known; I the

Maker ofthe ends ofthe Vedas; and I too am

the Veda-knower.'

As their Soul, ruling by My will, I am seated in the

hearts of the moon, fire, and all the sum of beings,—the

heart being the centre from which all intelligence(or cons

ciousness radiates,—intelligence, the root of all

impulses, positive(=active and negative(=rpas-

s\ve=»ivriUi). So aver the Srutis. For example:

'

Penetrating the interior, the all-Soul directs all

creatures 'Who seated in earth , Who,seated

in the soul,guides inside the soul'*.'

Resembling the lotus

 

flower-bud, with the point downward, is the heart etc'^.

'Now, the heart-lotus, in this city of brahma (=body)is

the abode etc

Also do Smfitis thus aver. For example:

'

Vishnu is the Judge ofall the universe; He permea

tes it, and directs the minutiose of the minutest things.'®

'

He the Judge, the Effulgent King, Who is seated in thy

heart'* etc etc.

Hence,from Me comes to all, memory,(=:smfiti)=the

consciousness awakened ofa past experience. Also from

Me is wisdom (=jfiana)=right knowledge of things

accruingfrom sense(=perception),sign(=inference).Scrip

tural Authority{dgama)and meditation(=Yoga=intuitive

or supersensuous perception).

Also from Me is deprivation [apohana)of wisdom

(or loss ofconsciousness);or apohanam may mean Uhanam,

conjecture, or that power of the mind which hits

on a probability or a probable hypothesis by reasoning

out that such a probability or hypothesis must work out

in such and such a manner. This is knowledge which

would contribute to the constructing or the establishing of

a fact (in the future) from what was but a conjectural

theory hitherto.

I am to be known by all the Vedas: since it is the

Vedas that assert that offire, the Sun,the wind,the moon,

Indra etc., 1 am the Soul, and the Inner Guide. The

terms,deva, man etc., (which may occur in the Vedas)are

in allusion to the individual souls {jivdtmds, infilling

those forms).

Ved-anta-krit'. Anta—tnd^ixxxiX., the fruit for per-

forming such Veda-enjoined sacrifices as:'

Letsacrifice be

made to Indra;''Let sacrifice be made to Varuna'etc.,

As in fruit do all these Vedas find their ending(or

consummation),so end means fruit.

I am the Maker of the fruit, i. e., the Granter or

Bestower of the fruit promised in the Vedas. This fact it

may beremembered,wasalready declared,in the Stanzas:—

'

Whatsoever form a devotee wishesin faith to worship,that

very faith in him do I render firm'(G/: VI1-21). '(He)

obtains his wishes thence verily granted by My-self'

{Gil VII-22). 'I verily am the Enjoyer of all sacrifices,and

the Sole Lord'{Gi:IX-24.I

/ am also the Veda-knower: for I know the Veda that

teaches about Myself, in that I am the Giver ofthe fruit

(to all My creatures). Whoso knows or understands the

Veda otherwise than what has been taughthere,is no know-

er (of it) at all.

And therefore learn from Myself the essence of all

Veda-teaching:

3^ &c.

16. 'Twofold are the souls in the world, the Kshara

and the Akshara ; the Kshara is the sum of all

(bound)beings, Akshara is the Constant'

Two kinds of souls are known in this world, the

Kshara(Perishable)and the Akshara(Imperishable).

The soul designated by the term kshara is that which

may be called Jiva or the sum of matter-tied creatures

from Brahma down to the blade of grass,all of momen

tarily enduring existences. The singular term'

soul'is to

denote the totality of all creatures by the fact of all of

them being subjected to the one common condition of

being matter-wedded.

By the term Akshara,the Constant,the Imperishable

or the freed soul, as detached from matter's connections

and as found in its own essential nature is denoted. It is

called Constant {Icutastha)inasmuch as when it isexempted

from matter no connection with such bodies as those of'

Brahma etc,—which are but modifications of matter-stuff

—is formed. The singular case of this term also, viz.^

kUtastka is because it is a collective term denoting the

totality of all those souls whose one common charac

teristic has come to be that ofbeing matter-free. It does

not therefore mean that there is but a single liberated

{mukta)soul; for that of such there are inumerable, de

clare such passages as: 'Many are they who purified by

wisdom-meditation,have come to My state.' (C/:IV-io).

'

(They) are neither bom at creation nor suffer at disso

lution'(G/: XIV-2).

&c.

17. 'But the Soul Paramount is Another, who is

proclained as Paramatma, Who—the Infinite,

the King,— penetrates all the three worlds

and sustains (them).'

But there is a Supreme Soul (or Spirit) Who is

different from both Kshara and Akshara, or Conditioned

souls and Freed souls,respectively. That Spiritis declared

as a distinct Postulate,as the Paramatma,in all the ^futis.

The very epithet Param-atma(the Supreme or Exalted

Soul) shows that the Supreme Spirit is a distinct Verity

other than the bound and the freed souls. How ? Because

He,penetrating all the three worlds, sustains {theni).

Loha=yNot\d, because it is seen {lokyate). Such worlds

are three in number viz:(i)the inanimate world{achetana),

(2)the animate world in conjunction with the inanimate,

{baddha-chetana), and (3) the freed souls [mukta). All

these three are proved to usby Authority. And thesethree

worlds. He—the Spirit Paramount—permeates and sus

tains. By the fact that these are worlds,by Him pervaded,

and by Him sustained, He is a Principle distinct from

them. Also is this the fact by reason that He is Infinite

and King,inasmuch as only a Principle Infinite can be

distinct from the finite-natured achetana (inert matter), the

chetanas(soul),conjoined thereto and following its lead,and

the tnuktas, who once before were in union with it(matter)

and now freed; inasmuch as only a King or Universal Sove

reign can be distinct from those over who rahe holds sv/ay.

&c.

18. '

Since I do surpass the Kshara and even do

excel the Akshara, I am reputed as Purush-

ottama both in the Smfitis and the Vedas.'

Inasmuch as,for reasonsstated aforesaid, I am beyone

the Kshara-soul—described—and transcend also the

Akshara-soul—the mukia, described—(hence), I am

renowned as Purushottama—tl)e Sublimest Purusha.

Z.(;^a=Smfiti, by reason of its .seeing(inquiring or

understanding) the meanings of the Vedas. So,as Puru

shottama,I am famous both in the Smfitis and the Vedas.

Siuti for example: '

Reaching the Sublime Light, (the

soul) resuscitates in its own nature. He is the Person

Supremest.'^ Smyiti for example: 'Verily the incarnate

(or descended)portion of Purushottama,of Vishnu,who is

without beginning, middle or end

&c.

19. Thus, whoso wise (man), Bharata! knows Me

as the Prushottama, knows all and serves Me

in every manner.'

Whoso,grown wise, knows Me as the Purushottama

described above: viz-, as the Distinct from the Kshara and

the Akshara souls; as the Infinite; as Him Who is

characterized as the Pervader,Sustainer, Sovereign etc.,

He knows all: Whatever there is that is to be known

as the means by which to attain Me,he knows all that.

He serves Me in every Whatever ways of

service, in order to attain to Me, have been prescribed,

he serves Me by all those ways ofservice,(worship).

By knowing Me as such {viz: Purushottama), he may

assure himselfof Mylove(for him)such as may be gainable

by all other kinds of service(or worship) relating to

Me(laid down in the Sastras).

This aforesaid Purushottama-knowledge is now eulo

gised:

fTfT &c.

20. 'Thusisthis mostOccult Science unfolded by Me,

0Sinless! Knowingit Bharata I one shallbecome

wise and shall have accomplished all his work.*

Considering thee sinless i. e., worthy,this Secret of

all secret Sciences, vis., the revelation to thee of the

Purushottama-aspect of Myself has been divulged.

He who knows this shall become wise-, i.e., he shall have

acquired every wisdom which one who aspires to reach Me

ought to possess.

He shall have accomplished,all his work-, i. e.. He shall

have performed every act of duty which one of his stamp

is expected to perform.

This Stanza informs us that the Purushottama-

knowledge—declared in this Lecture—a knowledge learnt

from Sastra,is alone sufficient to accomplish what is stated

in this Stanza{viz., becoming wise etc);and no direct know

ledge (or actual witnessing etc., of Purushottama) is

demanded(as a sinequa none for growth of spiritual wis

dom,and all that may follow thereon).

PROEM.

JN the precedingthreeLectures(xiii-xlv-xv),thetopics

dealt with were *.

(1). The essential naturesof matter and spirit (or

soul) when separate,and when in conjunction;

(2). That conjunction was the resultofattachment

to matter's qualities (gunas), and that separation; was the

resultofnon-attachment thereto;

(3). That matter and spirit,—in whatever condition

they be,—both constitute Bhagavan's Glorious kosmos;

(4).That Bhagavan,theContainer(orOwnerofsuch

Glory, is distinct from the contained(or what is owned)

viz:that which is comprised of the matter-stuff{achit) and

the spirit-stuff (cAiV) ofthe twofold division,—the bound

and the freed(souls),—inasmuch as He is possessed ofsuch

attributes and powers as (i) Infinity, (2) Pervasion, (3)

Sustenance,and(4)Lordship,Paramount

 

In order now to strengthen conviction in all that has

been said, adherence or submission to Sastra's authority

is inculcated. This is done by instituting a comparison

between the Divine {Daivaf and Non-divine (Asuraf

natures, found in creation who respectively profess and

disown allegiance to ^astra."

Divine and Non-divine. The Divine has been

This world, where worksare performed (j>.,causes are

created). Beings are those who give birth to works;of

whom there are two kinds, the Divine and the Non-divine.

Creation — time of birth. The beings are made so to

be born as either to follow the Commands of Bhagavan

or rebel against them, as may be predetermined by merits

or demerits(respectively)accumulated in the past.

 

1. Consult the Important Labie at

end of Lects XVIII, showing at a

glance the Analysis of all the modes

of Salvation, made by SrI Ramanuyja.

 

Of these two kindsof creation, the Divine has been

described at length, viz: those Divine Beings who strive

to walk according to My will, and whose walking corres

ponds to the methods of Karma-Yoga,^ Jftana-Yoga' and

Bhakti-Yoga,' described at great length. Now,listen from

Me the other kind of creation, the Non-divine, what they

are born for, and how they behave.

See.

'The Non-divine know not(the ways of)'activity'

or of'passivity 'Neither cleanliness, nor holy

conduct, nor truth is found in them.'

Activity or'Effort,' or engaging in Veda-

enjoined Dharma,for securing(material)prosperity(power,

riches,svarga, siddhis etc.)»

Passivity (or cessation from pravritti) or

engaging in such Veda-enjoined Dharma as leads to

ntoksha (spiritual beatitude)., {Nivritti is literally retire

ment,or giving up all desires for material happiness,thus

contrasting with pravritH^.^

The Non-divine (Asurd)do not understand these

ways. Suac/tam=C\eax\linessofheart inside and of person

outside,so as to be fit for performing Veda-bid works.

AcAdraA=Good or holy conduct,such as the perform

ance of Twilight-Prayers {-^sandhya-vandana) etc., by

which saucha would be produced,as declared in:

'

He who omits sandhya is always unholy, and unfit

for any duties,'

Satyam=li\\e utterance ofthat which is in conformity

with fact.

These qualities are not to be found in the Non-divine

natures.

the two Paths of Pravyritt: and

Nivritté are, consult Akdg: VII-15,
