1.4.5 जगद्वाचित्वाधिकरणम्
‘यः कर्ता यस्य कर्मे’त्यभिहितपुरुषो जीव एवात्र वृत्तः कर्तृत्वात्
कर्मवत्वात् सहज निजगुणैः भोक्तृभावप्रतीतेः ।
इत्येवं नैव शङ्क्यं जगदिह वचने कर्मशब्दाभिधेयं दृष्ट्यर्थं प्राणजीवग्रहणमिह
सुषुप्त्याश्रयो ब्रह्म यस्मात् ॥ 49 ॥
टीका
1.4.5 जगद्वाचित्वाधिकरणम् The contention that in the कौषीतकी text (IV.18) ‘He who is the maker of these persons and whose work is this - is alone to be known’, the person referred to is the soul as the latter alone being an agent of actions and the one possessed merits and demerits is known to be an experient is wrong on the ground that the word work - karma stands for the world1. The word प्राण in the text ‘Then he becomes one with this प्राण and the word जीव in the text ‘Thus does the conscious self feed with the other selves'3 stand for Brahman which has प्राण and जीव as its body4. And the text ‘where did this person sleep'5 refers to Brahman in which the soul abides in deep sleep. Notes : 1. kriyata iti व्युत्पत्या jagat वाचित्वात् VD.
