The System of the Vedanta according to Badarayana's Brahma-Sutras and Cankara's Commentary c6.s3.t7.6

c6.s3.t7.6

Çañkara’s remarks on this passage are limited to showing that both extracts belong to the unity of the same Vidyâ (cf. above p. 99), which appears from the beginnings and endings containing the same words (p. 923, 14), from the use of the particle *eva* “even” (p. 923, 16) as introductory conjunction of the second piece, as also from the fact that in both cases the inner soul is treated of (p. 922, 7), as there are not two inner souls, but one (p. 922, 9). The repetition is due to the difference of the instruction (p. 923, 7): the first time the Âtman is depicted as lying beyond cause and effect (*kârya-kâraṇa-vyatirikta*), the second time as overcoming hunger and the other qualities of Samsâra (*aṣanâyâ-âdi-saṃsâra-dharma-atīta*) (p. 924, 2. 3).
