Brahma-Sūtra 2.3.2 (correct conclusion)
English of translation of Brahmasutra 2.3.2 by Roma Bose:
“But (there) is (a text designating the origin of the ether).”
Nimbārka’s commentary (Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha):
In the Taittirīyaka, there “is” a text designating the origin of the ether, viz. ‘From the soul the ether originated’ (Taittirīya-upaniṣad 2.1 [1]).
Śrīnivāsa’s commentary (Vedānta-kaustubha)
To this we reply:
The term “but” implies the acceptance of the correct conclusion. If it be objected that in the Chāndogya there is no text about the origin of ether, (we reply:) in the Taittirīya there “is” a text designating the origin of the ether, viz. “From this soul, verily, the ether originated”. (Taittirīya-upaniṣad 2.1).
