SARVATRA PRASIDDHODHIKARANA 1
1. Sarvatra prasiddhopadesat
Everywhere (He is mentioned); because there is taught (in the scriptures) what is well-known.
The word Brahman that occurs in grammatical equation with what is mentioned in the text 'All this is indeed' (Chand. III.14-1) refers to the Highest Self. Why? Because in that Upanishat is taught that which is well-known. That all this is the Brahman is proved by the reason stated in the scriptural text, 'From Him springs the world, in Him it merges and by Him it lives.' (Chand. III-14-1). What is well-known is said to serve the purpose of a reason. From all 1 सर्वत्र omitted A 1.
