Brahma-Sūtra 3.1.19 (correct conclusion, continued)

English of translation of Brahmasutra 3.1.19 by Roma Bose:

“And moreover (this is) declared by smṛti in ordinary life.”

Nimbārka’s commentary (Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha):

It is “declared by Smṛti” in the passage: “He was born from fire for the destruction of Droṇa, so it has been heard by us”, and so on, that the bodies of even those who performed sacrifices and the rest, like Dhṛṣṭadyumna and so on, originated even without the fifth oblation.

Śrīnivāsa’s commentary (Vedānta-kaustubha)

In the Mahā-bhārata and the rest it is mentioned that the bodies of even pious workers, like Dhṛṣṭadyumna and so on, originated independently of the fifth oblation. It is declared by Smṛti too: “There arose, from that fire, a god-like prince” (Mahābhārata (Asiatic Society edition) 1.63936^[1]), “From the centre of the altar there arose too a princess of the Pāñcālas, well-beloved by her husband, beautiful to look at, with wide, deep black eyes” (Mahābhārata (Asiatic Society edition) 1.6398^[2]) and so on.
