Translation of the lectures of Dr.

Mani Dravid Sastri on Brahmasutra

Brahmasutra 1.1.1- Aji oex
The first question to be considered is, who is the competent person
AkMU-- for this Saastra? This is answered by the word atha in the
sutra athaato brahmajijnaasaa. Till now the bhaashya was based on the
word brahmajijnaasaa. The author of the sutra indicates by this word
that it is knowledge that removes nescience and bondage. Since
knowledge removes bondage it follows that bondage is a mere
superimposition. Thus superimposition is established.
By the word urcZrxixr in the last sentence of adhyaasabhaashya,
meaning which is intended to be commented on, the Acharya implies
that the Vedanta Saastra cannot be explained by the application of the
rules of interpretation laid down in purvamimaamsa. In purvamimaamsa
the statements in the Vedas have been categorized under five heads
vidhi (injunction), mantra, naamadheya, nishedha (prohibition) and
arthavaada (eulogy or censure). According to this division the entire
Vedanta will fall under the head arthavaada. Arthavaadas become
purposeful only if they are read along with an injunction or a prohibition.
For example, there is an injunction that silver should not be given as
dakshina in a sacrifice, and only gold should be given. In support of this
there is a story. During the war between the Devas and the Asuras the
Devas entrusted their valuables to Agni for safe-keeping. They won the
war and reclaimed their belongings from Agni, but Agni had developed a
desire for the valuables and refused to return them. The Devas then
thrashed Agni. Agni began to weep and the tears that fell from his eyes
were what became silver. So it is said that if one gives silver as dakshina
there will be mourning in his house within a year. The object of this
story, which is an arthavaada is merely to emphasize that silver should
not be given as dakshina.
Applying the same logic the purvamimaamsakas say that the
statement in the Upanishads that the jiva is identical with Isvara is only
an arthavaada and it is intended to indicate that the capacity of the jiva
is as great as that of Isvara and so he need not have any doubts about
his ability to perform all the numerous rites laid down in the Vedas.
Thus it is only praise of the jiva. But this logic cannot be applied in
respect of Vedanta, because the subject-matter of Vedanta is totally
different from that of purvamimaamsa and it is not covered by any other
Saastra. So the Vedanta sutras are absolutely necessary for
understanding the correct meaning of the Upanishads.
The word atha has many meanings. In this sutra it is used in the
sense of thereafter-- AjzoS Allirj mUaiThe other meanings are not applicable here as will be shown below.
One of the senses of the word atha is to indicate commencement. It
is used in this sense in the yogasutra and in the science of grammar. But

this sense does not fit in here. The subject-matter of this sutra is the
desire to know Brahman. It cannot be said that this desire is being
commenced, because it s only a person who already has this desire who
takes up this study. There is no need to create this desire. Moreover, the
subsequent sutras speak about Brahman and knowledge of Brahman
and not about desire to know Brahman.
Can we say that brahmajijnaasaa means enquiry about Brahman
(Brahmavichaara) and so it can be said that Brahmavichaara is being
commenced by this sutra? Such an interpretation may be theoretically
possible, but it does not serve any purpose and cannot make the sutra
purposeful. It will become purposeful only if we interpret it as indicating
the adhikaari or competent person for the study of this Saastra. Here
atha means after the acquisition of the four-fold requisites
(saadhanachatushtayam).
The word atha has also the meaning auspicious, but this meaning
cannot syntactically fit into this sentence.
According to Bhamati, the sound atha is no doubt auspicious, but the
word atha does not have the meaning auspicious. But according to the
bhashya the word has the meaning auspicious. This word has been
used in the sense of auspicious by Sriharsha in Naishadha. According
to Panini also the sound atha is auspicious and the word atha has the
meaning auspicious. Vivarana takes the same view as the bhashya.
When one proposition has been considered and rejected and an
alternative proposition is to be postulated, the word atha may be used to
introduce the new proposition. As for example, is sound eternal? Or
(atha), is it transitory? This sense is also not possible here, because no
other proposition has been stated earlier. What the author of the sutra
has in mind is saadhanachatushtayam- the four preliminary requisitesafter acquiring which alone the enquiry into Brahman is to be taken up.
For enquiry into dharma the study of the Vedas and knowledge of their
meaning are the essential qualification. For enquiry into Brahman also
these are necessary, but they are not by themselves sufficient. In
addition, acquiring purity of mind is also necessary.
Opponent: Purity of mind can be acquired by performing the rituals
laid down in the Vedas. For this enquiry into dharma is necessary
because only after that he will be able to perform the Vedic rituals.
Answer: This is not an invariable rule. For a person who has purity of
mind even on birth the performance of karma is not necessary. He may
have attained purity of mind by karma performed in past births.
Moreover, it cannot be said for certain that a person would come to
Vedanta after completing enquiry about dharma. On the contrary, study
of the sutras of Jaimini may have the opposite effect of turning a person
away from Vedanta because according to the Jaimini sutras the entire
Vedanta is arthavaada.

In the case of sacrifices the Sruti lays down the order in which various
rites are to be performed. This has to be followed without question. An
order is laid down because the same Adhvaryu has to perform various
acts and he can do them only one after another. Instead of leaving it to
each Adhvaryu to do the acts in any order he pleases, the Sruti lays
down an order so that there will be uniformity. By following this order an
unseen benefit is acquired.
Enquiry into Brahman may be taken up by a person after enquiry into
dharma if he wishes to do so. But there is no requirement in the Sruti
that this alone should be done. The two do not have to be done by the
same person and so it is not necessary to lay down any order. There is
also no rule that only a person who has already done enquiry into
dharma is competent to take up enquiry into Brahman.
In respect of certain sacrifices there is a requirement that it can be
done only after doing another specified sacrifice, for example, Somayaga
should be performed only after Darsapurna. But there is no such
requirement regarding enquiry into dharma and Brahman.
The opponent says: According to one Smriti only after studying the
Vedas, begetting sons, and performing Vedic rituals according to his
capacity, a Brahmana should direct his mind towards liberation. Another
Smriti says that a Brahmana who desires liberation without studying the
Vedas, begetting sons, and performing sacrifices goes to hell.
The answer to this is that the purport of these Smritis is that only a
person who has attained detachment is entitled to enter the sannyasa
ashrama. Sannyasis have the primary competence (mukhya adhikaara)
to take up enquiry into Brahman. Householders are also entitled to do
Brahmavichaara, but their competence is secondary (gauna adhikaara).
Bhattabhaskara says that the Brahmasutras are a continuation of the
sutras of Jaimini. This is not accepted by Sri Sankara. He points out that
this is a separate Saastra because the competent person, subject-matter,
result and connection (anubandha-chatushtaya) are totally different. The
Sruti itself lays down the four preliminary requisites (saadhana
chatushtaya).

There is no order laid down that Brahmavichaara should be taken up

only after completing Dharmavichaara. The subject- matter and the
result to be attained by the two Saastras differ and there is no
connection between the two. In Purvamimaamsa the result is Dharma
and for this the rites laid down have to be performed. In Vedanta
knowledge of Brahman is itself the result and there is nothing to be done
thereafter.
According to Bhamati the knowledge attained from the mahavakyas is
only mediate (paroksha) and it has to be made immediate (aparoksha) by
repeated contemplation. But according to Vivarana the knowledge itself
is aparoksha and no further action is necessary. Knowledge of Brahman
is always immediate because Brahman is ones own nature and so it is
always immediate. But the reason for its not being able to destroy
nescience is due to obstructions in the mind. Reflection and
contemplation are intended to remove these obstructions.
Prakatartha takes the same view as Vivarana.
Dharma comes into existence only after the prescribed rites are
performed. But Brahman is ever existent.
Another difference is that in respect of Dharma there is an injunction
to perform an action. But in respect of Brahman there is no injunction to
do anything after the rise of knowledge.
In respect of Dharma not only is knowledge imparted, but there is also
a prompting to carry out an action. But in respect of Brahman, by
knowledge alone the goal is attained and there is no need for prompting
for any action. It is like seeing an object in front of a person. As soon as
he opens his eyes he sees the object and there is no need to prompt him
to see it. The knowledge produced by verbal testimony (Sabda) is
aparoksha if the subject-matter of the knowledge is aparoksha. If a man
points out to another person standing before him and says He is so and
so, the knowledge obtained about him by the other persons present
there at the same time is clearly pratyaksha. The same applies to the self
which is ever present. This is how the knowledge from the statement
You are the tenth becomes immediate.
The word chodana is used in two different senses. One is prompting.
Another meaning given in Sabarabhashya itself is verbal testimony. This
is the sense in which it is used in the word Brahmachodana in Sri
Sankaras Bhashya. This means that knowledge of Brahman arises from
the words of the Upanishads themselves.
In purvamimaamsa the injunctions (vidhi) indicate what is dharma and
the prohibitions (nishedha) indicate what is adharma. Adharma is not
mere absence of dharma, but it is what is opposed to dharma. If the
injunctions are followed results such as heaven can be attained. If the
prohibitions are complied with and not transgressed, no sin will accrue.
The injunctions will produce the desired result only if the acts enjoined
are performed with faith and due attention. But if the prohibitions are
transgressed even without deliberate intention there will be punishment.

Just as there is so much difference between injunctions and

prohibitions, there is also great difference between the part of the Veda
dealing with dharma and the part dealing with Brahman. There can
therefore no question of sequence between the two. The two Saastras are
quite different just as the various limbs of Veda such as Chandas,
Nirukta, etc are different from one another. In response to the contention
of the purvamimaamsakas that enquiry into Brahman can be taken up
after completing enquiry into dharma, performing sacrifices, etc,
Prakatarthakara points out that there is no guarantee that a person will
live long enough to do this. So, having got a human birth as the result of
accumulated punya, one should take to Vedanta as early as possible and
strive to attain the ultimate goal, namely, liberation.
The four preliminary requisites (saadhanachatushtayam) are:
lirliruxiuuM, CWqjpauUa, zqSqSxklxmi, qqiu c.
-- discrimination between the eternal and the ephemeral, an attitude of
total detachment towards the fruits of action in this world as well as in
other worlds, the six disciplines such as control of the mind, control of
the senses, etc., and intense yearning for liberation. The first two are
indicated by the words of the Upanishad which say that, after examining
the transient nature of all the results obtained through action, including
the rites prescribed in the Vedas, one should attain detachment towards
them and resort to a guru who will impart knowledge of Brahman. The
six disciplines beginning with control of the mind are indicated by the
statement in the Upanishads (santo danto---) referring to them. The
question of Maitreyi to Yajnavalkya asking for knowledge about what will
make her immortal indicates the need for intense yearning for liberation.
The discrimination between the eternal and the ephemeral is the firm
conviction that the Self alone is eternal and the not-self is ephemeral.
Detachment follows from this.
Bhamati uses the expression discrimination between the real and the
unreal instead of the eternal and the ephemeral. This is because one
may not reject some joy merely because it is transient, but one will reject
what one knows to be unreal. A person who picks up some object
thinking it to be silver will throw it away when he finds that it is not
silver but only a shell. Every one knows that all worldly joys are
transient, but that knowledge itself does not give rise to detachment. It is
only the knowledge that they are not real at all that will create
detachment towards them.
In Vivekachudamani also it has been said that the knowledge that
Brahman alone is real and the world is not real will lead to detachment.
This is the reason why great effort has been made in Vedanta to point
out that the world is mithya. The love of the not-self has to be got rid of
by cultivating detachment.
Detachment does not mean just absence of attachment or aversion.
Even an inanimate object is devoid of attachment and aversion.

Detachment is a mental state which is the opposite of both attachment

and aversion in all matters except those which are essential for the
maintenance of the body.
From detachment arise control of the mind, control of the senses and
the external organs, etc. The mind should not be engaged in anything
other than what is essential for hearing, reflection and contemplation.
The senses and the other organs should be directed only towards what
are essential for living.
Uparati is entering the sannyasa ashrama and giving up karma in
accordance with the rules and procedures laid down in the scriptures. It
is also taken to mean keeping the mind away from external objects
without any vacillation.
When total purity of mind is attained, nitya karma also can be given up
by taking sannyasa.
Titiksha- forbearance, is suffering heat, cold, etc., without making any
effort to counteract them, as long as life itself is not in danger.
Sraddha is the conviction that what the Saastra and the Guru say is
true.
Samaadhaana is keeping the mind intent on hearing, reflection and
contemplation, uninterrupted by drowsiness, laziness, etc.
Mumukshutvam follows the acquisition of the first three requisites. The
mumukshu is the person competent for Brahmavichaara. Such a person
is sure to attain the goal.
The word atah (therefore) in this sutra is meant to answer the
objection that there is no possibility of the first two requisites, namely,
discrimination between the eternal and the ephemeral and detachment
arising to a person. The reason for this objection is that the Veda itself
says that the result attained by some rites such as chaturmasya is
immortality. So it is argued that it is not necessary to attain Brahman for
immortality. As regards detachment, the objection is that it cannot arise
merely because all joys are accompanied by sorrow, because one can
avoid sorrow by some means. The answer to these objections is that the
sruti itself says that whatever is attained by karma is transient and so
the statement about the result of some karma being immortality is
intended only to praise that karma and should not be taken literally. The
sruti further says that knowledge of Brahman alone confers the highest
goal. Even the pleasures of heaven are not everlasting because they are
limited in time. The word atah is used in the first sutra of
purvamimaamsa also for the same purpose of answering objections.
Now the word brahmajijnaasaa is taken up. The word brahma has
many meanings, but the meaning to be adopted in the present context is
indicated by the second sutra as that from which this universe is born,
etc.

The sixth case-ending of the word Brahman has to be taken in the

accusative sense and not in the sense of mere relation. The word
jijnaasaa (desire to know) needs an object. Here there is no object other
than Brahman. The sutras deal not only with Brahman but also with
many other matters such as the means of realization, the fruit of
realization, etc. It may therefore be contended that even by taking the
sixth case-ending in the sense of mere relation Brahman would be
covered, but this is a roundabout method. Brahman is the main object of
enquiry and so the accusative sense is most appropriate. Moreover the
sruti says, Wish to know that, that is Brahman (Taitt.up.3.1). So the
accusative case is in accordance with sruti.
Now the word jijnaasaa is considered. It means the desire to know.
iqcN ex| |
We can have desire to know something only if it is at least partly
known, but not fully known, and there is some benefit in knowing it.
Brahman is known in a general way, but not fully. By knowing it one
becomes liberated. So desire to know Brahman can arise. Knowledge of
Brahman culminating in actual realization is the object of this desire. So
both mediate and immediate knowledge are included here.
According to the purvamimaamsakas knowledge is a modification of
the Atma. According to the Naiyayikas knowledge is a quality of the
Atma. These two systems recognize only one kind of knowledge and this
knowledge has a beginning and an end.
But Advaita recognizes two kinds of knowledge, one that is eternal and
another that has a beginning and an end. The sruti mentions knowledge
as the very nature of the Atma and says that this knowledge is eternal.
Another sruti says that desire, resolve, doubt, attention, knowledge, etc.,
are all nothing but the mind (Br. Up. 1.5.3). The knowledge spoken of
here is the knowledge that arises due to a modification of the mind (vritti)
and ends when the modification ends. The mind is the cause of this kind
of knowledge because if the mind is engaged elsewhere a person does not
see even an object which is in front of him.
This knowledge (or cognition) is a modification of the mind. So it has
been said in the Upanishad that it is mind itself. This knowledge is called
vrittijnaana. The vritti or modification of the mind takes the form of the
object. This knowledge has always to be referred to as associated with its
object, as for example, knowledge of pot, etc. It has a beginning and an
end. The manner in which this knowledge takes place has been
described in Vedantaparibhasha thus:
Just as the water in a tank, issuing through a hole, enters, through a
channel, a number of fields and assumes the shapes of those fields, so
also the luminous mind, stretching out through the eye, goes to the
space occupied by objects and becomes modified into the forms of those
objects. Such a modification is called a vritti of the mind.

Vedanta Spiritual Library

The statement that the mind takes the form of the object is not to be
taken literally. Quality, action, etc., have no form, and yet they are also
cognized by the mind. What is called aakaara or form is only the
connection of the knowledge with the object. Knowledge itself has no
form according to Advaita.
The mental modification is insentient and so it is not by itself
knowledge. Pure consciousness is reflected in this mental modification
and the two appear to be non-different. So it is really consciousness that
is knowledge, but because of non-discrimination the mental modification
is also called knowledge. The origin and destruction of the mental
modification are superimposed on consciousness and so we say that this
knowledge has a beginning and an end.
In the Bhashya is it is said that the knowledge that culminates in the
direct realization of Brahman is the object of the desire indicated by the
word jijnaasaa-- Auaimrli l xlucrr CcNr Mq, TsuwriuScNr |
A desire arises in respect of something that either results in happiness
or eradicates sorrow. Realization of Brahman destroys nescience and
results in supreme bliss and the total eradication of sorrow and so there
can be a desire for this.
The pure consciousness that is the very nature of the Atma does not
itself destroy nescience, but only reveals it. Only when pure
consciousness is manifested through a vritti of the mind it destroys
nescience. This is illustrated by an example. Sunlight reveals grass but
does not burn it. But when the same sunlight is passed through a lens it
burns the grass.
For realization of Brahman the means is the knowledge arising from
the mahavakya.
Objection: Brahman is not known in the world. It is known only
through the sruti. If a person has known it through the sruti, there is
nothing more to be known. If he has not heard the sruti statement at all,
then no desire can arise to know it.
Answer: From the very derivation of the word Brahman the ideas of
eternality, purity, etc., become known. This word is derived from the root
brmh and it means very big without any limitation. From this
limitlessness, eternality, purity, etc., follow naturally. From this also
follow omniscience, omnipotence, etc-- ozoSxr W urimqlxr
lirziuSrj mirli, oWikiUjlaqi |
The existence of Brahman is well known from the fact of its being the
self of all. Every one knows that he exists; no one says that he does not
exist. So no one can have any doubt about the existence of Brahman
which is nothing but his own real nature-- xuxriqiu oxiiumx | xu

Though Brahman is thus known in a general way, there are conflicting

views about its exact nature. Ordinary people and the materialists of the
Lokayata school consider the body possessed of sentience to be the self.
Some say that the mind is the self. Some consider it to be only
momentary consciousness. Some hold that it is a void. The
purvamimaamsakas and Naiyayikas hold that there is a self different
from the body, and that it transmigrates and is an agent and an
experiencer. The Sankhyas say that the self is only an experiencer and
not an agent. Some say that there is a God who is different from the
individual. Vedanta says that God is the self of the individual who is the
experiencer. In order to attain the highest goal one should ascertain the
correct meaning of the Upanishads with the help of reasoning not
opposed to the Upanishads. This is what is being done by the
subsequent sutras.
