But there is no restriction that those alone who meditate upon the Brahman as stated in those Vidyas attain the Brahman by that path and hence they alone should meditate on that path. But all the meditators engaged in various Vidyas also attain the Br.ahman, and go by that path. Then only the contradiction between the teachings of the scriptures and the Smrtis can be averted. The scriptural text mentioned in the Pancagnividya (i.e., the meditation on the five fires) is this-' Those, who in the forest meditate on faith and truth, they reach the path of light '. (Brh . VI.2-15). Smrti text is this-' Fire, light, day, the bright-fortnight etc.' (Bhag. Gi. VIII-24). AKSARADHYADHIKARANA 14 33. Akas'aradhiyam tvavarodhah samanyatad bhavabhyamaupasadavattaduktam
