4.2.5 आसृत्युपक्रमाधिकरणम्
एषा त्वविद्यस्य गतिर्भवित्री विद्यावतोऽत्रैव पराप्तिशब्दात् ।
नैतत् द्वयं स्यात् उभयोः समाना गतिः शरीरात् इतरोऽर्थवादः ॥ 19 ॥
टीका
4.2.5 आसृत्युपक्रमाधिकरणम् According to the prima facie view, the departure of the soul from the body at the time of death relates to the ignorant only and in the case of the knower the श्रुति text states that he experiences Brahman here itself. This view is not correct. The departure of soul from the body is common to the man of knowledge as well as the ignorant till the individual soul enter into veins. There is then difference in the paths. The text that declares that one experiences Brahman here itself is intended to glorify the nature of Brahman. Notes : 1. बृह् Up., IV.iv.7. 2. बृह् Up., IV.iv.7.
