History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.40

v7.c93.40

A parallel may be cited. Śaṅkarācārya makes one adhikarana of sūtras 26-33 of V. S. I. 3 (devatādhikarana) which establishes that not only men but gods are qualified to study the Vedāntaśāstra and names Bādarāyaṇa twice in the same adhikarana (in I. 3. 26 and 33) and in I. 3 33 he employs the word 'tu' because that sūtra is a reply to Jaimini's view contained in I. 3. 31-32. Similarly, the PMS puts forward the siddhānta view in VI. 3. 2 and names Jaimini in VI. 3. 4 for the same purpose.
