आगमे ब्राह्मे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

And scripture declares a difference (in the case of meditations on symbols).

With reference to the meditations on symbols, such as name and so on, scripture declares that each following meditation has a different result from the preceding one, ‘As far as name reaches he is lord and master;–speech is greater than name;–as far as speech reaches he is lord and master;–mind is greater than speech’ (Cḥ. Up. VII, 1, ff.).

Now this distinction of rewards is possible because the meditations depend on symbols, while there could be no such distinction if they depended on the one non-different Brahman.

Hence those who take their stand on symbols cannot have the same reward as others.
