English of translation of Brahmasutra 3.4.7 by Roma Bose:
“And on account of restriction.”
Nimbārka’s commentary (Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha):
“And on account of the restriction,” viz.: “Only doing work here, let one desire to live a hundred years”, and so on (Īśā 2)[1]
Śrīnivāsa’s commentary (Vedānta-kaustubha)
“And on account of the restriction,” viz.: “Only doing work here, let one desire to live a hundred years. Thus work adheres to you, to a man. There is no other way than that” (Īśā 2), knowledge is subservient to work alone.
