14. Sthanadivyapadesacca
- And on account of the statement as to the abode, etc.
That He dwells within the eye and at the same time He rules over the eye is proved in the text, 'He who dwells within the eye etc.' (Brh. III-7-18). Therefore this must be the Highest Self.
15. Sukhavis'istabhidhanade'vaca
- And on account of the very same text referring to
what is characterised by Pleasure. The scriptural text, ' Pleasure is the Brah1nan, Ether is the Brahman' (Chand. IV-10-5) refers only to what is characterised by Pleasure. · Hence this must be the Highest Self.
16. Ata eva ca sa Brahma
- For that very reason that (ether) is the Brahman.
Here Upakosala being afraid of Samsara, made the inquiry about the Brahman. Then he was taught that the Pleasure was the Brahman and the Ether was the Brahman.
