The Philosophy of the Upanishads c6.s1.25

c6.s1.25

³ The explanations given of these secret words are not always in agreement. The definition of Brahman as pûrṇam apravarti is approved in Chând. 3. 12. 7, but in Bṛih. 2. 1. 5 (Kaush. 4. 8) is regarded, on the contrary, as inadmissible. Of still greater interest is the case of the Upanishad Bṛih. 16. 3, amṛitam satyena c'hannam, understood by others as anṛitam satyena c'hannam; so also Bṛih. 5. 5. 1 (anṛitam ubhayataḥ satyena parigṛihitam), which again is otherwise explained in Chând. 8. 3. 5. Similarly the saying of the ancient ṛishis, pâṅktam idam sarvam, is differently construed in Bṛih. 1. 4. 17 and Taitt. 1. 7.
