Mandukyopanishad.
Bhashya Mangalacaranam
How Brahman is pervading the entire universe is shown here.
Swami Dayananda
Vedantin like Sankara when they praise, it is naturally not sagunam brahma but in a way that is
presented in sastra and it forms an introduction of Upanishad. One verse is vidhi mukha stutih
and another nishedamukha stutih. Twofold mode is there. Not this, not this or asthulam etc.
Anything you think of is negated. Or by words positive or lakshanaya. It retains some meaning.
Both are necessary. Mere nishedha buddha did. Anything left also negated. (That is why in this
life no nirvanam. meaning every life is this life only). Mere positive words means it conditions.
Concepts are not truth. That is nishedha. Every concept is truth is positive. With positive upadesa,
there is isvara siddhi etc. Two verses praising the whole subject matter in vidhi and nishedha, in
two different ways.

I remain having surrendered unto that brahman which (during waking state) after having
enjoyed all tangible objects by pervading the entire universe through the omnipresent rays
of its unchanging consciousness that pervades the entire variety of the movable and
immovable objects; that again, after having enjoyed, as it were i.e., experienced within (in
the dream state) - all the variety of objects set up by desires and brought into existence by
the mind; enjoys happiness in deep sleep and make us experience through maya that
happiness; which further is designated, in terms of maya, as the fourth and which is
limitless, immortal and changeless.

Swami Dayananda
Yad brahma tat natah ahamasmi. I remain having surrendered unto that brahman. What is that
brahman? nah bhojayt+ It is there making us enjoy. It is in the form of waker and dreamer and
sleeper. In the form of waker it enjoys. Sthula bhoga. The world itsefl it pervades through waker.
Bhogyam bhokta and bhoga is also brahman. By maya becoming waker it pervades.
Prajna means what? Jna means knowledge. Pra indicates what? It is not poetry where words are
thrown like that. That which does not have birth and death. Change is not there for which
knowledge. That is brahmnan. Its rays. Then it is not any more prajnanam. It has undergone a
upadhi because it is obtaining in buddhi. Itslef has no rays. As obtaining in buddhi alone it has
rays. As if rays. So it means jivas. Like even reflection of sun shining in water. So there are many
jivas.
Misc
The nature of Brahman is prajnanam. Prajnanam means exalted jnanam. What is prakrshtatvam in
jnanam? That in which there is no differences like knower, known etc. In flower knowledge - I
am the one who sees and flower is seen and eyes are instruments. Object of knowledge will be
flower and knobbier of object is me. Both are different. Knowledge is divided here. That
knowledge is exalted where there is no bheda. That is pure knowledge where no divisions are
there.
What are the rays in this knowledge. In sun it is possible because it is in one place and it can
extend its rays. Darkness also exists which is removed by those rays. Here therefore rays are
cidabhasa. It is the mind. The consciousness reflected in mind pervades every object of
knowledge as it is known.
The pervasion that is talked about here is not like fire pervading the iron ball. There fire and ball
are two different things. Here it is like the pervasion of (material) cause in the effect. Like clay
pervading the pot. The pervader and pervaded are not two different things. Even this also is not
ultimately accepted. Like the mind pervading the svapna padarthas. Or It is like the rope
pervading the snake. The notion of pervader and pervaded itself is mithya. Rope snake is example
for nirupadhika vastu. Where after gaining the knowledge of adhishthana adhyasta goes away.
The pervasion of blueness in akasa is example for sopadhika vastu. Here the blueness will
continue to be seen as long as eyes are there. The idea of pervasion is apparent.
Now that is made understandable. The Brahman is remembered now in the form of pratyagatma.
Any knowledge takes place when mind takes the form of object. Object in the thought alone is
known. Whether indriyavirtti goes to object or object comes to indiryavritti it need not be a
matter for contention here. When vishaya becomes vrittistha or vrtti takes vishayakara, the
caitanya conditioned by virtti and objects become one There is no bheda between the two. They
are not in two places. From the stand point of adhishthana caitnaya, vritti, desa, kala obejct - all
of them are not separate from Brahman.
To establish the oneness of vastu, the enquiry begins form where we are. That is waking state. Its
svarupa in waking is it is enjoyer of gross objects.

Reflected conscious pervades all jiva upadhis. They are divided in to sthira and cara. Sthavara
and jangama. Tree etc are also conscious. Responds to external world. Shtira is tree etc. Human
beings etc are cara. Nikara is samuha. By this cidabhasa Brahman pervades all the upadhis, gross
and subtle. By them (senses and minds) he pervades the worlds of objects. Enjoying the
appropriate gross vishayas. (sukha and dukha-prapaka). So Brahman alone is visva obtaining in
individual upadhis. He is sthulabhug. Not only gross but subtle also later in dream.

Again, enjoying what? All vishayan. What are they? They are born of dhishana or buddhi. They

by desire (avidya etc). Born of samskara. They are in the form of vasanatma. So they are subtle.

In this manner making us experience, Brahman alone remains. How it does? By maya.. Maya can
accomplish anything. It is fourth. Then it is not purnam. No. The fourth is due to maya. I tis
kalpita sankhya. The three is due to maya. That brahman we salute. Mayavi he becomes. Then he
is savisesha. No. Param. Brahman does not have maya as intrinsic quality. It is beyond. Maya-
atitam. It is limitless. Brahman also has no birth. Neither in the form of jagat nor itself is born.
Vyashtirupena what ever is, is adhishthana brahman, samashti rupena what ever is adhishthana
brahman, jagatrupena what ever is adhishthana brahmna. Dualists, because of rigorous order we
see, cannot deny reality for the world. How come three? By maya. The order itself is maya. So
everything is validated. Punya, papa and dharma and adharma - all accepted. That is bhojayat.
Order of karma and dharma is included here. Cidabhasa is not separate from Brahman. At the
same time some visesha is there. You explain what is there, what is experienced. pratana is
vistara.
Second sloka
Vidhi and nishedha is pradhanyena, predominantly here. Not that totally. Both are there in a
place. Vidhi implies negation. Negation presupposes positive. Nisehdha because vigata guna
ganah is used. One who is free from all gunas.
Here Nisehdhamukha varnanam is done. Pitva in first sloka is vidhimukha. Hitva here is
nisehdahmukham. One prakriya is everything here is paramatma. Another is not this, not this.

May that turiya, that (through maya) having identified itself as the entire universe,
experiences (in the waking state) the manifold physical objects of enjoyment through
ignorance and attachment, that again during the dream state, experiences, being illumined
by its own light, the subtle objects of enjoyment, the objects that are brought into existence
by its own mind, and which lastly, in dreamless sleep withdraws all objects (subtle and
physical) within itself and thus becomes free from all distinctions and differences - (may
this turiya that) is ever devoid of all attributes, protect us.

One who is free from all gunas, that turiya. All three states are said only to be negated later here.
Nantahprajnam+ How he becomes turiya? Because of these three. One who is known as visvatma
- what does he do? By his punya he has some pleasant experiences. That is vidhija vishayan.
When mosquito bites, even when you are here, it is born of papa. Both imply objects. Objects set
up for you by punya and papa. All of them. Ishta and anishta vishayan. Prasya means bhuktva.
What kind they are? Sthavishtha. Difficult to bite. Mountain is sthula. Experience is sukshma.
Sthavishtha can be liquid. You cannot say idly is sthula and coffee is sukshma. Anything
experienced from sthula vishaya is sthavishtha.

I am writing a commentary on the Karika - he says. He is dealing with karikas. He first reads the
first vakya. Agama prakarana includes Upanishad. This prakarana of four chapters which is in
front of him (idam) is the essence of vedantartha. There are so many upanishads are there. Their
meaning is jiva brahma aikyam. Of that artha, this is collection of the essence. Very well collected
is sangraha. That (prakarana catushtayam) is started. It is sastram. It has one prayojana and at the
same time which is complete. Without any balance it unfolds everything. For all of them one
prayojana is moksha. Vaidya is sastra because it has one prayojana that is removal of diseases.
Varieties of them are there. One prayojana that is svasthata. It is called arogata (arogyam).
Bhavaroga elimination is prayojanam here. It is adequate. It contains sara of all upanishad artha.
It does not contain karmas. That is why it is prakarana. Sastraika+ Those who know about
grantha bhedas, call a text as prakarana which deals with only one part or topic of the sastra. It is
an independent work at the same time. It is karika. So prakarana.
Why do you separate Vedanta from Veda - You have to show the difference in anubandha
catushtaya. Adhikari, vishaya etc. Sastra and prayojana - there is sambandha. Paramparaya
sambandha. Generally they point out. Here it being Vedanta prakarana, Karikakara need not say
it. Abhidheya is subject matter. (sabdatmakam sastram is abhidhana). Atah eva means being
prakarana of Vedanta. Vedanta has already established them. Those we can take it here.
Sambandha is - between sastra and subject matter - it is pratipadaka pratipadya. Subject matter
being not available for other means of knowledge. It alone reveals. Aikyam, the subject matter is
revealed by sastram. Revealer and revealed sambandha Second sambandha is between sastram
and prayojana (moksha) - it is direct relationship. For moksha, sadhanam is sastram. Pratipadaka
pratipadya means guru, sastra etc comes into being.
Granthakara need not talk. I can talk of them because I am commentator. I am vyacikhyasu.
Atleast I have to say in brief, passingly refer. So that it is easy for you to know. Readily you can
refer.

This treatise must be said to contain a subject matter on account of its revealing the means
Sruti uses iva. In which avastha (ajnanam) under the spell of ignorance advaya vastu appears
dual. Because it is kalpita. Before knowledge also iva. After, takes away iva. The tongue of the
sruti fights shy to say yatra dvaitam bhavati. So it does not even want to say in ignorance there is
dvaitam bhavati and in jnanam advaitam bhavati iti. Even in ignorance sruti says iva. You count
one. Afterwards nothing there to count 2. Second is mithya. Again in which avastha there is as
though second thing, there one can see another. Just as in dream. Whereas in vidya avastha, when
he knows that everything (triputi) is atma (Sruti does not say that all things have disappeared)
i.e., everything is known as nonseparate from atma. There he can see whom by what? So advatia
bhavah is revealed by sastram. So these srutis say that prapanca is avidya krtah. That is the
meaning of asya arthasya. Siddhi is arriving at a conclusion. Like pada siddhi.

The first chapter is agama prakaranam because agama is predominant. All are agama related only.
Not away from agama. But agama can be dealt with yukti as pradhana. In Br.sutra we have four
chapters. First chapter is agama prakarana dealing with sruti vakyas. Second chapter primarily is
yukti based. While analysing the arguments of other acaryas who are not totally sruti based but
advance yukti, they have to be argued out by yukti. We point out fallacies in their arguments.
For the sake of establishing the meaning of omkara, is first chapter. Agama is primary. Why
should we do it? It is means for knowing the truth of atma. Om is Brahman. So we have to know
the svarupa of OM. Badhayam samanadhikaranyam. It is not vacyartha of OM. Second is
Vaitathya. What about world? It is mithya. When dual world is resolved there is advaita
recognition. How it is possible. Example is ropesnake. Until rope is known, vikalpas cannot stop.
If not snake mala etc. will be seen. So to point out mithyatvam of dvaita is second chapter.
Bauddha will say adhishthanam also is mithya. No. It is satyam. Because without satyam there
cannot be mithya. The fourth prakarana is to negate objections to advaita paksha or in
understanding the vastu. What others say why dismiss, you just talk what sruti has to talk. No. We
have to take into account those arguments and dismiss because they get into us. How to dismiss
them. Allow them to discuss. Each will negate the other. It is alata santi. You hold a fire stick or
glowing stick and spin it you get different patterns.

“Om indeed is all this”
All this is om alone - by this you mean what?. It is: Om is not everything. It is just a syllable.
How can you say it is everything. Om is all vak you can say. But all rupas are not om. That is also
om. Sweet you say it is om. Anything you say it is om. Because it is name. Om becomes
lakshanam and Brahman becomes lakshya.
Between om and Brahman there is some samanya. Because both are aspada of creation. Om
through the basic sound of a pervades the whole world of names (Omkarena sarva vag santrnna)
and atma is also aspada of whole world of objects (tasmat etasmat atmanah+, etasmat jayate
pranah+) . Since lakshana is one and so they are one. So knowledge of one leads to knowledge of
another. Also we can say that om pervades all names. The modifications of paramatma i.e., the
creation exists only in name. So om is everything. So om becomes cause of arisal of this
knowledge of Brahman.
Om is mangalam because it is name of lord. From all this srutis we come to know it is means for
Brahman.
It is either abhidhana where you have to understand. As alambanam it is useful for upasana.

The analysis of the world can be done by the analysis of the omkara. Omkara vicarena jagat
vicarah sampadyate. It is possible only under one condition. That is when omkara and jagat are
identical. So enquiry into om is enquiry into world. If both enquires are equal, which we will
choose? The result is same. So we will choose om which is handy. If we have to enquire into
every atom, every plant every being - it is difficult. Like Subrahmanya going around the world
and Ganesa seeing the world in the parents. Scientists are trying to analyse the entire world. They
are doing subrahmanya method. We are doing Ganesa method. We will inquire into Om.
All that is here, this entire cosmos, is the syllable Omkara. We can say it is a word. Of that om, an
elaborate commentary is going to be done. Upa means intimate. Aa means complete. Khyanam
means exposition or elaboration or discussion. Of that omkara which is sarvatma and jadatma.
Who says? Upanishad says I am going to make an enquiry.
Fist statement is om is everything. The word everything is commented now. Everything means
bhutam etc. Bhutam means whatever was in the past. The cosmos in the past. Bhavat means the
cosmos that is at present existing. Bhavishyat means whatever is going to come in the future.
They are nothing but the word omkara. We call it karya prapanca. The whole created universe,
which was created in the past which is being created now and which will be created later in the
future.
Not only that. Whatever that is beyond the three periods of time. Whatever universe that exists
beyond time is also Omkara. What is the universe which exists beyond time? Sankara says
karana prapancah. We are saved because of his commentary. The whole universe in its causal
form, seed form, avyakrtaadi. When the whole universe is in its causal form, time will not be
available. Time can be experienced only where divisions are there. That is why we say time and
space go together. When you experience space, (meaning divisions, only when division between
oneself and another, the distance between me and you, is there space is appreciated.) then time
can be experienced. When duality merges, the space concept dissolves, time also merges. How do
you know?
In sleep all dualities merge and when all dualities is merged you do not have any concept of time.
Neither space nor time because no duality. When you wake up all the three come. In the same
way, before creation, during pralaya, during karnavastha, all the three are not there. Desa, kala
kalana. So both karya and karana prapanca is omkara only. So to analyse the world go to omkara.
Prapanca means, we have to take alongwith prapanca the adhishthanam Brahman. Sadhishtanam
jagat we have to take. The reality is there as substratum because world is mithya. That
adhishthana sahita world is om. Mithya jagat and satya adhishthanam is om. So we have to sort
them out by analysing omakra.
How do you say omkara is unversed? How can a simple sound be equated with cosmos.
Upanishad will answer later. From 8th to 12th is omkara vicara. Till then it is suspense. Here it is
only a pratijna vakyam. In the second mantra we will see the second pratijna.

Artha jatam means artha samuham or vishaya jatam. Various objects that we experience here.
samanya and visesha, jati. All of them. This is abhidheyabhutam. It is not separate from
abhidhana. All put toothier the samashti. Abhidhana is also not separate from omkara. Omkara is
meaningful. Sruti talks about om as abhidhana for Brahman which is everything, abhidheya. It is
not arbitrarily chosen. it is meaningfully chosen. Sruti has the right to choose a word for
Brahman. It chooses a word following certain rules that are manifest in the creation. Whole
discussion is taking place among human beings alone and not among cows and so human voice
alone is taken into account. How devas would be talking we do not know. Human voice operates
in a certain manner. Human organ of speech creates a sound when it opens the mouth and it is a
and it is pradhana in omkara. When you close it is m and beyond that no sound. Between them all
other sounds. ‘Am’ - the child says first . Pa comes later. Phonetically speaking it transcends
language. Because it is phonetic based so transcends language. Avati rakshati is om - then it is
linguistic. Adding manin to ava we get. Ter lopah. Any language is nothing but phonetics. So all
abhidhanas are omkara due to omkara’s avayava ‘a’ being predominant in all sounds. Including
nasal sound. which pervades all speech. SO it is abhidhana for all abhidheya. So all this is
nothing but omkara. Aksharam is purely syllable here. Varna is letter.

This is explanation of sarvam. It can be apekshika and not total. Sarvam is used in both absolute
and relative senses. So it is said here. That was the problem with Naciketas. His father had to give
as dakshina to Brahmins all that he had. Useless cows also, that father had, he had to give. So
Naciketas thought he also is wealth to his father. Santana lakshmi. He is useful. He offered
himself. Thinking that father may not know that I am ready to go. So he offered. Sarvam he
interprets that it includes putra. How much is sarvam. He gave away everything - when you say
it is not clear. It is absolute sarvam here.
Sarvam includes what was before, what is now and what will come later - all of them that are
subject to time. All are omkara only. Idam sarvam is drishti gocara. Bhuta is tat kala avacchinna.
That is why api word. Future also is tat. That also is omkara. Why? On the basis of the reason
advanced before. Nyaya is abhidhana and abhidheya are identical. All are abhidhana matram only.
This includes karya-prapanca. That which is subject to time is covered. Kala and desa are karya.
So anything existing in time is karyam. Karyam is Omkara. What about karanam. That is said
now.

If identity is there, the usefulness of it is then by single effort you can negate both together By
understanding om you understand Brahman. You resolve all abhidheya when you resolve a and u
in m. Sthula depends on sukshma whereas sukshma not on sthula. Hiranyagarbha is satyam but
10 There is ekatva prayoga between upaya and upeya like ayuh is ghrtam. Then om is upaya and
so gauna in that way as there is no tatparya in om. Mukhyam is in tatparya only.
that is also abhidhana. It is resolved in avyakrta. Avyakrita also is abhidhana because due to
upadhi is isvarah. Abhidhana and abhidheya both are avastu. So Brahman that is distinct from
both is known when they are resolved. So abhidheya pradhanya nirdesa is done here to point out
identify between both. That is made clear by sruti when it says padah matrah and reverse iti.
When Brahma vastu is brought into account then it is only one way.

All this is indeed Brahman. This self is Brahman. This self which is that Brahman is
endowed with four quarters.
Now comes the second pratijna. This is going to give the second method of enquiry. It is atma
vicarah. It is a means to jagat enquiry. Equation is jagat enquiry is self enquiry. Self enquiry is
easy. It is possible only when universe and self are identified as one. This is the meaning of
second mantra. It is that whole universe is nothing but self. So to enquire the universe you can
inquire into self.
All this is Brahman. What is that Brahman? It is this self. The whole universe is therefore self.
Self means I. Sarvam is Brahman which is equal to atma. So sarvam is atma. Earlier sarvam is
om. It is indirectly said. Brahman means big, infinite. Here also we should bring an idea from the
first mantra to explain sarvam. Bhutam bhavad bhavishyat iti sarvam atma eva. Yat ca anyat
trikala atitam that also is atma. So both prapancas are atma only. Sruti does not want to repeat.
Both being mithya and so they are alongwith their adhishthanam. So the final meaning is that
both prapancas alongwith adhishthanam is nothing but atma, I. So enquiry into me is enquiry into
world. I need not do world enquiry. How can I be everything? I am not even the tape recorder I
love so much. So the statement is only pratijna. The reason will come later. Second analysis is
going to be taken up hereafter. Whereafter? From the word ‘soyamatma brahma catushpat’ itself
of this mantra. Upto the 7th mantra it will go.
Pratijna order is different and vicara order is different. Pratijna - om is first. In vicara atma is first.
Soyam atma+ That (which is said to be everything by the Upanishad) this (that is immediately
available as aham, aparokshataya upalabhyamanam, caitanyarupena vartamanam) atma has four
quarters. What are the four quarters? That will be dealt with hereafter.
Ayam atma brahma is a mahavakyam. Very famous sentence. Often quoted. It reveals aikyam. I
am Brahman. Brahman is all. I am all. It is given in the form of pratijna. Reason part will come
later. In the case of tattvamasi etc reasoning part was given first and finally nigmanam is done at
the end by saying tattvamasi.

The topic is prathama pada. First quarter. Of whom? Of atma. Before getting into the mantra we
will see how Upanishad will do.
Four padas are being revealed through avastha traya vicara. For all practical purposes we can say
atma vicara is nothing but avastha traya vicara. Pancakosa vicara is in taittiriya. That is how
Sankaracarya has chosen Upanishads. Avastha traya are jagrat etc. In waking, you have world of
objects of waking world. It can be divided into three. Knower, known and instrument of knowing
or experiencing the objects. The waker is none other than the consciousness identified with mind
which functioning through the physical body experiencing a physical universe. Mind happens to
be jadam by itself. So too body, universe. So there are two parts in it. Cetana amsa and jada amsa.
In dream state also it is same. We have objects there consisting of three factors. Same caitanyam
identified with mind that is functioning through svapna sariram. Vasanamaya sariram. Projected
body. Instruments are different. We have eyes of that body. Caitanya happens to be same. While
everything else varies.
So we can say that in waking state, caitanyam is associated with waking triputi and in svapana
state a different tirputi. We can say dress is different. When the field of functions differ, name also
differs. Why different names? When you are sitting here you are called student. When you are in
your house you are husband or wife. So atma is called visva and taijasa accordingly. It is prajna in
association with sleep state. Consciousness is not different. The avastha which is responsible for
a particular name is called upadhi. So jagrad avastha is upadhi for visva. So too svapna and
sushupti for taijasa and prajna respectively. So visva etc can be called sopadhika atma. These
three will be called first three padas. What will be the fourth pada. It is going to be nirupadhika
atma. Atma looked without any field. It is called turiya. Now let us come to prathama
Visva is one who is waker. Jagrad and jagarita are synonyms. What is the triputi here? When
caitanyam is associated with mind, there is a cidabhasa in the mind and that cidabhasa is knower.
Pramanas are sthula sarira-gata senses. Sthula prapanca is object or prameyam. Visva is
consciousness associated with all the three viz. knower (cidabhasa) etc.
Mandukya is doing a very subtle job which we have to carefully notice. In tattvabodha we have
defined visva as the caitanyam associated with the sthula sariram. It includes pramata and
pramanam. So too taijasa with sukshma sariram and so on. Visva included only pramata and
pramana. We did not include the prameya prapanca. Caitanyam associated with sthula prapanca
was called virat. Caitanyam associated with sukshma prapanca was called HG. So too isvara - for
karana prapanca. Prapanca is prameyam.
Here Mandukya does not differentiate vyashti and samashti. In visva itself virat is included. How
does it include? When you say visva is the consciousness associated with jagrat avastha, jagrat
avastha includes vyashti sariram as well as samashti prapancam also. Put together it is called
visva. In short there is identity between visva and virat.
This is true because virat can be there only when there is visva. When I am a visva then alone
there is a jagrat prapanca. Virat is jagrat prapanca abhimani. Virat can be there only when there is
jagrat prapanca. Imagine visva is resolved and taijasa or prajna has come. Not only I have gone to
taijasa avastha, whole jagrat prapanca is not there for me. If it is not there, how can there be
caitanyam associated with jagrat prapanca. How can there be virat. So visva and virat are
inseparable. So too Taijasa and HG. So prathama pada includes visva and virat. There are three
steps. 1) First pada includes pramata pramana and prameyam. 2) So it includes sthula sariram
and sthula prapancam (prameyam) 3) So it includes visva and virat.
Why Mandukya makes it so complicated? This is necessary because if visva does not include
virat then visva will become many. I will be one visva and you will be another visva and so on.
So too taijasas. Turiyam will also be many. I am turiya behind my visva taijasa prajna and you
are turiya behind your visva taijasa prajna. So there will be many turiyas. Dvaitam will be there.
If visva includes virat then there is only one visva. In that you all are included. When I am awake
I am the visva in which my body is included as well as all the other people also. Not many
wakers. Only one waker. I in which all are included including virat. From visva when I go to
taijasa all visvas are resolved into taijasa. Taijasa includes not only myself but all dream jivas.
When I resolve into prajna, all jivas are resolved. In turiyam all pramanas pramatas and prameyas
are resolved. Advaitam of turiyam can be established only when visva and virat are identified. So
too taijas and HG. This is not new procedure.
We have the same method used in taittiriyam also. When every kosa was mentioned each was
identified with corresponding total. After introducing annamaya kosa, a quotation was given
pointing out identity with vyashti and samashti. (Annad vai prajah+ pranam deva anuprananti+
yato vaco + vijnanam yajnam tanute+) Maya is vyashti and remove mayat is samashti. Annam is
samashti and annamaya is vyashti Pranam is samashti prana maya is vyashti. There vyashti kosa
and samashti kosa. Here it is between visva and virat. The essence is visva is consciousness
associated with individual equipment as well as total creation.
Words indicating visva at the vyashti level is bahishprajnah and sthulabhug and ekonavimsati
mukhah. Words indicating visva at the samashti level is saptanga and vaisvanarah. jagarita
sthanah is common for both.
Jagarita sthanah - The consciousness which is associated with jagrat avastha. Jagaritam sthanam
yasya. Sthanam is field of function. Or kshetram. As kshetram changes kshetrajna differs with
different names. Visva from vyashti level and virat or vaisvanarah at samshti level.
Bahishprajnah - One whose prajna or consciousness is turned outward, extrovert. In the waking
state we are not expereincing our internal world. That is during dream. We are turned inward
there. Consciousness is internalised. Now externalised. With respect to what internal and
external? With respect to body. A referential point is necessary to understand inside and outside.
With wall point outside. With ashram boundary inside. There is nothing outside my body in
svapna.
Why I am vehemently asserting this? When I say consciousness is externalised, we should not
think objects are not external to consciousness. From the stand point of consciousness there is no
external world. Because consciousness is all pervading You are not external to consciousness.
You are external only to body. Sankaracarya will say dehapekshaya bahih. Antar bahisca + with
caitanya apekshaya. From virat angle there is nothing bahih to virat. Virat has no external world.
The whole world is body of virat including time and space.
Ekonavimsatimukha - One who has 19 gateways or doors. Counters of experiences we can say. If
we say visva is bahishprajna naturally the question will come what is the means through which he
is looking outside? Consciousness can go outside or perceive things outside only through special
doors. Now you are all outside. I am consciousness. If my consciousness has to recognise you I
require the medium of eyes through which alone consciousness can function. nanachidra+
External world also is contacting me. For that 19 gates. What are they? 5+5+5+4. Prana does not
help directly in turning our attention outward. If sense are to be bright and powerful prana must
give sakti to them. Some are directly helping and some indirectly. Now I am speaking and
contacting you. Power of speech requires prana sakti and so I am extrovert. Maranakale we can
see role of prana. When mouth cannot open. If these 19 are not here, no bahishprajnatvam.
Sthulabhug - Experiencer of the gross objects. When the consciousness is associated with sthula
sariram then the world experienced is also sthulam. In dream it is subtle. Each pada
independently may not appeal much. When you do comparative study then it will be clear and it
has value. bahish and antah and sthula and sukhsma. Sthulam bhunkte anubhavati iti. Because no
external object for virat so we cannot say he experiences external objects. So it is for visva only.
Vaisvanarah - means virat. Another name for virat. The consciousness which is associated with all
human beings. Visvesham naranam nayanat. The word indicates that it is not caitanyam
associated with one body and but with all physical bodies. Incidentally the word is used in the
sense of agnih also. Vaisvanarah pravisati. It also represents digestive fire also. Aham
vaisvanaro+ Viasvarnarah primarily means virat alone. But this vaisvanarah is invoked in agni
and that agni is used as alambanam for virat. So it is called agni. It is secondary meaning.
Naciketagni was given and virat upasana was given for which agni is alambanam. So virat is
called agni also.
Saptanga - It refers to virat. One who has seven limbs. Anga is part. The idea is based on a
mantra occurring in chandogya Upanishad. There virat is described with seven angas. Murdha
eva+ The seven are 1) head of virat is heavens 2) Eyes of virat is the sun 3) Mouth of virat is Fire
4) prana of virat is all pervading vayuh 5) Body of virat is the space 6) Bladder of virat is (mutra
sthanam) is ocean or waters. 7) Feet of virat is earth. Virat has these seven limbs. In Mundaka we
saw agnir murdha cakshushah 2.1.4 + Saptanga is virat.
Even if your eyes are closed, you experience the wind. Or you hear the sound. When I am awake
I am not always bahishprajna. You respond when touched. If you sleep then we have another pada
for it.
He is externally conscious. So he is called bahishprajna. Atmanah prajna. Rahoh siravat. How
does he become outside. By the time it comes out through your eyes and mind, it becomes as if.
Retaining its prajna svarupam still since it comes out through senses it is called bahishprajna. As
a pramata (atma) one whose prajna or consciousness is in objects which are other than the
pramata. This is pot - here bheda between subject and object is there. All pramatas behave that
way only. Otherwise bahih is not there from the standpoint of caitanyam. As pramata you are
bahishprajna.
How atma prajna which is all pervading and limitless become bahishprajna. It is iva. Vritti
assumes the form of an external object and so bahishprajna. Prajna has got an object which is
outside and so prajna is apparently outside. Same caitanyam with reference to the objects it is
appearing as if outside. The externality of consciousness is due to avidya. If you understand it is
vikshepa krita. If not understood it is avarana krita. We can say maya krta. Because vidvan also is
bahishprajna. He addrsses sishya.
12 In waking the senses are those which are blessed by devatas. The devatanugraha cannot be
pratibhasika. So even though in dream also objects are perceived by senses, they are not
blessed by devatas, being pratibhasika. Sastra is vyavaharika and svapna is pratibhasika.

Not big book. Visva is one who is sthulabhug. That vaisvanara who enjoys these qualifications,
alone in the form of individual experiences all physical objects, through the said karanas. Sthula
vishaya means anything that you experience through the sense organs. Objects obtaining in the
physical world.
Here kartari ‘ana’ suffix in nayana. Towards all the beings who are obtaining as bhoktas - for
them sukhaduhkhadi prapanat. He is the one who brings sukha duhkha for them. Vsaisvanara.
Nipatat purva padasya dirghata. Visvaanarah. (nare sanjayam). Or you can go to karmadharaya.
Visva and nara. Then taddhita. One who is in the form of the world and who is also human being
because he has upadhi of sthula deha. Svarthe ann. Naras are many. How narah. One human
body is there. How karmadharaya. It is fine because he is talking about you. All bodies are
included in your prapanca. Sarvapindatmana ananyatvat tesham. Ittham bhute tritiiya. All naras
are not separate from this visva. This is first pada. Vaisvanara is first quarter.
How can you say it is first pada. It is sthula body and sthula prapanca. Sukshma is cause. You
have to say that first. Answer is: There are two ways. We can go from either end. From fourth or
from first. But we start from where we are That Bhashyakara says.
This is not problem. It is not a topic for objection. Because it is understandable, It is important. It
is meaningful. Without this it will be a problem. Naisha dosha means it is not a matter for
objection. It is meaningful. Not only that, it has got to be so. If it not here, there will be problems.
The entire prapanca (adhibhautika) has order in its functioning. Isvara from the standpoint of
order that eyes seeing and not hearing and that is can be corrected or never corrected and so on.
Every level functioning or phenomena, at adhyatmika level becomes adhisthana at adhidaivka
level. So without cosmic person there is no waking state. For waking state phenomenon virat is at
cosmic level.
The five elements grossified and their effect that is physical bodies (elemental) - of all of them.
They have prathama padatvam due to this virat or as virat. Of the same prapanca, in its subtle
form made up of ungrossified elements, and the effect of them namely minds etc - the second
padatvam is accomplished due to HG or as HG. Of the same prapanca with reference to its
cause, it has third padatvam due to or as avyakrta. The karya-karana being kalpita, giving it up by
change of vision. If you want gold and somebody gives ornaments, you do not say I want
ornaments and why are you giving gold. You do not protest. Your vision shifts to gold. No
problem. seeing ring, still you see gold. It (jagat) has fourth padatvam as the adhishthana.
Adhishthana for both karya and karana kalpana. Karya also has further kalpana like sukshma and
sthula. So by this bramatma alone for prapanca catushpatvam is intended to be told. When the
identity of both vyahsti and samashti is admitted, by the resolution of each preceding pada in the
succeeding one we come to this turiya atma. That is the set up and then alone all this is atma can
hold good.

And the self existing in all beings is realised as one, and all beings are seen as existing in
the self. And thus alone will stand affirmed the meaning of the Vedic text : he who sees all
beings in the very self and the self in all beings.
The self obtaining in all beings one who sees in oneself - He also sees himself in all the beings.
Such a person does not attempt to protect anything. No yoga kshema problem. This vakya is kept
in mind here. Atma that gives satta sphurti to all things. The meaning of sruti i.e. like yastu
sarvani will stand appreciated by us. They become arthavati bhavati. Otherwise there will not be
any meaning for them.

Otherwise, the indwelling self, circumscribed by one’s own body, will alone be perceived,
as it is by the Samkhyas and others. And in that case the specific statement made by the
Upanishads that it is non-dual will have no distinctiveness, for there will be no difference
from teh philosophy of the samkhyas and others
If we do not include samashti in waker, then atma will be limited to one’ body. A single atma
conditioned by the physical body is atma. Everybody will have his own atma. So it will be dvaita.
For them purushas many. But prakriti is one. Only pratyagatma will be there as prakriti laya.
Prakriti laya is not atma. Prakriti adhishthana is atma. They are afraid of prakriti. When it is like
sankhya atma, then there cannot be advaitam brahman. Later it is going to be said santam sivam
advaitam in this Upanishad. That atma will never be accomplished. So we have to bring in
saptanga. Sruti’s speciality will not be there because it is like samkhya darsanam. At least when
outside you can blame somebody for your problems. Within, whom you can blame. So jagat has
to be included in waker.

But as a matter of fact, it is desired that all the Upanishads have the status of revealing
oneness of self in all. Therefore it is proper that having in view the identify of the self as
virat in the context of gods (samashti), the former should be mentioned as possessed of
seven limbs comprising such physical constituents as heaven etc.
In all Upanishads also this oneness of self is desired to be unfolded. Sarvah is paratma. Atma is
ekah. The oneness of self is intended to be revealed by sastra. If not sastra cannot become a
pramana. So it is proper that waker has seven limbs. That statement is right. Pindatma is one
individual atma. For the individual keeping in mind the oneness with virat (adhideivika). Who is
virat? He is one having heavens etc as limbs. So oneness for both has to be said at every level.
That atma which is Brahman ( which is every thing) is presented here as one pada. So he cannot
be yawning waker individual.
What about isvara and prajna? When he sleeps he is better off. Between these two, oneness is
already accomplished. It is already known to us. That both are avyakrta is known to us. How?
Being undifferentiated, there cannot be any difference. In sleep it is avyakrtam. It is atma before
the srishti. Same condition before srishti. There also avyakrita atma and here also. Avyakrtatvat is
reason. All viseshas are only in vyakrita avastha only. Manifet means all differences come to
fore.

{ÉÉnù& - the second quarter
The second quarter is taijasa, whose field is the dreaming state, whose consciousness is
internal, who has seven limbs, who has nineteen instruments and who is the experiencer of
subtle objects.
Swami Dayanandaji
One who is in dream. Svapna is sthanam for whom. Antah prajnah. Unlike before, here the
consciousness is within. With reference to senses and body it is within. External oneness are not
operating. Eyes are closed. Still he is seeing. One who is awake to one’s mind. One who has 19
limbs. He has a body etc there. There also he gets confused. He remembers. Which is not there.
Lottery is there. Your number is not there. Praviviktabhug. Other than sthula. Vibhktam entirely
different from sthula. He enjoys subtle objects. He is called taijasa. One who is purely in the
form of consciousness alone. All that is there is one caitanyam. It is called antarjyotih with vrittis.
Abhimani is there Whole thing is called taijasa. He has 7 angas and so HG. This is second
quarter.
Swami Paramarthananda
The second pada is described here. It is the very same consciousness only associated with or
manifest in the field of the dream. Svapna is the kshetram. Caitanyam called kshetrajna is
functioning then. Here most words from vyahsti standpoint. Svapnasthana we can take for both
by taking the meaning of svapna (from vyashti mind and samashti mind.). Here saptanga is there
which indicates samashti only. Others are from vyashti standpoint only.
Antahprajna - Antha is internal. Consciousness turned inward. The external world is extinct.
Everything experienced is your own internal world of projections. it is vasanamaya prapanca. It is
thought world. Standpoint is referential word. It is from the standpoint of body. Not form the
standpoint of caitanya. Dehapekshaya.
Eko+ Here also he has got the nineteen counters of experience. It is same as the bahishprajna. We
do not use gross organs in svapna. You yourself project senses for yourself. When you see colour
you have to open your eyes. In dream also you do not see colour by eras. Svapna eyes when you
open, sthula eyes are still closed. So both are different. Jagrat senses are isvara srishtam and
svapna senses are jiva srishtam. You have hunger there which is appeased with food there. Aham
there also is different from jagrat aham. What do you contact through those 19 counters? It is
svapna prapanca.
Praviviktabhug - Lit means experiencer of something that is different. Praviviktam Bhinnam or
vilakshanam. It is different from the objects of first quarter. Objects of first quarter is sthula
vishaya. Different from sthula is sukshma. Final meaning is sukhsma bhuk. Shtulat
pavivibhaktam. It is not available for neighbours. It is subjective.
Taijasah - Vyahsti name is used. In the previous pada, samashti name was used as Vaisvanarah.
Taijasa includes HG. (Like Vaisvanarah included visva). He is called taijasa because effulgent.
Tejomaya because in the jagrat avastha when we are experiencing the world there are so many
things to illumine the world. I see you because light illumines you. Sun or moon or fire or lamp
lights up. In svpana I experience the world. Which light illumines all the objects there? It is dark
all around. You do not think let the lights be on as I have to see dream. You experience day time
in svpana. What illumines the prapanca. The light also is you alone. In svpana the atma is called
effulgent atma. It gives light to the world and experiences the world also. In Br Upanishad, it is
talked in svayam jyoti brahmanam. Atma illumines everything there. Tejomayatvat taijasa iti
ucyate.
Saptanga - It means the same thing. The difference between both padas is not in the caitnayam
but in the field of activities. Caitanyam is same. When the field is different, even the caitanyam is
same, the names also become different. One we call waker and another we call dreamer. When we
give different names we get confused. When different names are there we think that there is
different thing. Book and pen are two different things. Nama bheda creates nami bheda in the
mind. Pada bheda indicates padartha bheda. So waker and dreamer are different we think. Aim of
mandukya is to destroy this bhranti. Not only waker and dreamer different. For each waker
different names are given. Rama, Krishna etc. Caitanya is one only.

Why it is called antah prajna. From the standpoint of senses, mind is inside. It is behind senses.
Even when senses are not functioning, mind is functioning. So it is internal. The vasana of mind
- tad vasanarupa means vasanas of mind. Prajna which is in the form vasanas or impressions of
the mind. In dream prajna is therefore internal. Because it is vasanarupa and so internal. In
waking external objects are there. There purely vasanas which is within the mind only. It is all
iva.

Why taijasa. Svapna is dull experience. I cannot even relate or recount what I dreamt. Very rarely
I can say exactly what happened in dream. How can you call it taijasa. Something like brilliant iti.
The brilliance is only in this way. The prajna has not sthula vishaya. What is there is only thought
which is shining. He becomes the vishayi. The subject. Tejomaya antahkarana vritti rupa is
taijasa. It alone is there. Vishayi once you say, vishaya is there. Both are caitanyam. In
jyotibrahmana it is pointed out what is there is nothing but jyoti.
The sleep is that where one is self ignorant, one does not desire any external object and
does not see any dream. The third quarter is prajna whose field is the sleep state, who is
unified mass of mere consciousness, who is full of ananda, who is the enjoyer of ananda
and who is the door way to the experience (of waking and dream.
In this mantra the 3rd pada of the atma is being talked about. The third quarter is discussed in two
mantras viz. this and next or 5 and 6. The topic of 5th is third quarter from vyashti angle. Same
third quarter from samashti angle in 6th. In the place of clubbing both, we have two here. Both
were given together in first and second quarter. Here prajna and there isvara.
Definition of prajna is what? One who has the field of sushupti. Consciousness associated with
sushupti avastha. Here the Upanishad feels that sushupti avastha has to be defined first. In the
first two cases Upanishad did not define the avasthas. It is clear. Srotradijnanedriyaih
sabdadivishyaih ca jnayate iti ya sa. So too svapna is jagrat avasthayam yad drshtam yad srutam
tadjanita vasnaya nidra samaye yat prapancah pratieyate sa. It is video show. You record during
waking state and play in svapna avastha.
Why a definition
In sleep nothing is there iti we may think. So sruti defines. Not only ordinary people think, there
are philosophers like sunyavadi who think that in sleep it is only sunyam. Not only world is
sunyam but consciousness also is gone. I am not even conscious of consciousness. Generally
people conclude it is zero. It is not sunyam but contains the whole world. Why not I experience?
If it is there I should experience. You do not, because experience requires triputi. But there all are
resolved into one mass. So we do not experience something. Experience requires duality. You
can see things only when something is kept little bit away. It should be neither too far nor too
close. Perception requires not only duality but also safe distance. In sleep everything has merged
into one and so how can one experience anything?
Definition
So it is a state in which everything is resolved. (it is not absence of everything. It is called
bijavashta. TB said - anirvacya anadi avidya rupam sariradvayasya karanamatram tat svarupa
ajnanam. Sushupti is nirvikalpa avastha where differences are all merged. What is the proof of
that? Because the next day after sushupti again vikalpas come. From nirvikalpa alone savikalpa
avastha can come From sunyam vikalpas cannot come. From something positive alone duality
can be born. Morning we see all of them viz. tirputi comes back. So it is called karana sariram or
avastha. It is called mulavidya. Avidya is not absence of knowledge.
Yatra suptah+ That is called sushuptam where a person has gone to sleep. What type of sleep?
Where one does not desire anything external objects Also not sees any dream or internal objects.
He does not project any internal objects Why Upanishad uses these two words? They are used to
negate other two avasthas. In waking state one has desire for external objects. So it is not waking
state. It is different from waking state. So it is to negate jagrat. The second is to negate dream
state. One does not see any internal objects.
Why suptah?
Is it not enough to say these two? Why suptah is used? It is used to indicate that a person is self
ignorant also. Suptah means he is ignorant of himself. It is a technical world meaning one is
asleep to one’s nature. Otherwise, suppose one who does not see external and internal world and
it can apply to a meditator who is doing nididhyasana of aham brahma asmi where he is not
seeing any internal object nor he desires any external object. He is not sushuptah. He is self
awareful. He is seeing himself. So the difference between sushupti and nididhyasana is that in one
he is ignorant and asleep to his nature and in the other he is not. Such a state is called sushuptam.
Sleep requires three conditions. 1) No external world, 2) No internal world 3) self ignorant.
The beauty is that the word suptah should continue in other two states also. There also one is
asleep to one’s nature. In dream also it should be there. In both if one is asleep, then what is the
difference between jagrat and sushupti. In jagrat avastha there is self ignorance and external
world but in sushupti there is self ignorance minus the external world. Between dream and sleep
also similar situation. In both there is self ignorance. But in former there is plus internal world.
Later one has no internal world. Self ignorance is common to all the three. One is sleeping in all
the three.
Sushuptam and sushupti
Now the Upanishad comes to the third quarter. It is again the same consciousness associated with
sushupti avastha. The difference is in the field and not in the fielder. The third pada of atma.
Normally we use the word sushupti. Here it is sushuptam. It is equal to sushupti. Sushuptah
means sleeper. Sushuptam when you say it is sleep. It is same as sushupti sthanah.
Prajnana ghana
He is same as ghana prajna. Why? Then it is easy to compare with the other two. The previous
ones were bahir and antar. Here ghana. It is neither internal or eternal but a mass of
consciousness. No internal or external differences. Ghana is mass. In jagrat avastha you are
conscious of a particular thing. There is a visesha jnanam like sabda or sparsa or rupa etc. It is
particularised or savisesha jnanam. When there is sabda jnanam, even in that you differentiate
every word in the talk. So it is a particularised cosnciousness. In svapna what happens is that you
are aware of internal world where also you differentiate one from the other and there also your
knowledge is savishesham. There is a particularised knowledge there that this is man and this
woman. This is glass and water is in the glass. So it is also specific consciousness. Objects are
different. Prameya 1 is different form prameya 2. And so on. Further difference between
prameyam in general and pramanam. Among the pramanas there is difference like eye is
different from ears. Pramana one is different from pramana 2. In sleep there are no prameyams
and no prmanams and no pramaatas also. All of them have merged into one mass of
consciousness. It is nirvikalpa jnanam.
Ekeebhutah
Why it has become ghana prajna? Upanishad says it is due to all savisesha jnanams have merged
into one mass. All knowledges of objects have become one. We cannot differentiate one from the
other there. Ekeebhutah is important because even though the differences are not experienced in
sleep, we should not think the differences are not there. They are very much there in unmanifest
form or potential form. They are there but not seen. It is not that not there. How do you know
they are there? English knowledge, Sanskrit knowledge all are there. Because when you wake up
you wake up with those particularised knowledge. You know English when you wake up. Chinese
knowledge was not there. But English knowledge was not absent. But unmanifest. This is the
difference between maya and Brahman. In maya differences are unmanifest. In Brahman
differences are absent. Maya also nirvikalpa but due to unmanifest condition of differences.
Brahma is nirvikalpa because differences not there. We talk of maya here.
Anandamayah
It is called karana sariram also. The main point is that anandamaya is normally the kosa or
sariram, but here as third quarter it is presented and so it is caitanyam associated with ananda
maya. It is not kosa. It is saturated with ananda. Why? Sankaracarya says that the duality born
finitude mortality ragadvesha are all resolved there. So there is ananda.
Ananda bhuk
It is experiencer of ananda. In the karana sarira or anandamaya kosa, even though there is no
duality in the form of external or internal world, still there is an experience which is the
experience of absence of everything which itself is a particular experience. There is nothing
particular when we say - do we experience it or not. So it is a particular experience of absence of
everything. Even this experience requires some kind of very subtle form of vritti called priya
moda and pramoda (manifesting as priya etc in waking). Third quarter has very subtle vritti which
is in these forms. Because of these subtle vrittis alone we get two kinds of experiences. 1) I did
not know anything. (absence of things is also an object of knowledge) This is not said here. 2) I
slept very well. There is absence of everything and there is sukham. This is called anandabhug. If
the expereince is not evident how do you know it? After waking up we say rahugrasta+ I
experienced happiness - in this: I is bhokta, prajna. Experienced indicates vritti, pramana.
Happiness is object. So too I experienced nothing.
Why sukhsma vritti?
This experience does not clearly differentiate experiencer and experienced and instrument of
experience. Even though the experiences are merged, still, there is subtle experience in the above
two forms. Why do you say it is subtle experience or sukshma vritti. Because in waking state
when he got experiences, the triputi bheda was evident. I am experiencing you with my eyes. In
sleep experience is there, I. Instrument of expereincer is karana sariram. Ananda and ajnanam is
there as object of experience. Technically triputi is there. Experientially not felt. So we call
sukhsma vritti. It is karana sarira vritti. Mind is not there in sleep. A yogi has this experience
when he is in nirvikalpa samadhi. He chants through manovritti. Then later by abhyasa, when the
mind is resolved, still by the force of habit vritti continues and it is at karana sarira level. It is
nirvikalpa samadhi. It is so called because triputi is not there. So he is anandabhug through this
vritti. Compare with other three. Fourth should be abhuk. So 3 rd pada is experiencer of pratibimba
ananda.
Cetomukhah
To understand this we have to know a particular idea used in Vedanta. In waking we are identified
with sthula body and experience sthula prapanca. In dream with sukhsma sariram and experience
sukshma prapanca. When we go from one state to another two steps are involved. First is
withdrawal from previous identification and entering into new identification. When we analyse it,
we can imagine a state in between. Even for a second there is identification with karana sarriam
only. Nobody goes to another avastha straightaway. Like from dream to sleep and then to waking.
(However sudden you wake up from dream due to fear etc, still it is through sleep only which is
door way. Too sudden we do not feel it. Like in a movie when a person is standing, it is not still.
It is moving. Changes so fast that the movement is not felt) That middle state is always sleep. So
too waking to sleep and then to dream. The moment I withdraw form one I am in karana sariram.
Sushupti is a via media for both travels - for svapna to jagrat and jagrat to svapna. So sushupti
becomes an intermediary room between two rooms. It happens so quickly that I always feel I am
in one room or another while passing through. I never feel the state in intermediary room.. Only
in sushupti proper we are there. Or like emptying a measure and filling up with another grain.
There is an intermediary gap of empty vessel. So prajna is intermediary between visva nd taijasa.
Cetah stands for jagrat and svapna. Mukha means door connecting jagrat cetah and svapna cetah.
Cetah is anubhavah here. For both anubhavas it is mukha or way. Prajna who is sushupta sthana is
door way. Not sushupti.
Prajna
Last title. At vyashti level, the condition of prajna is that he is ignorant of everything because
everything is resolved. So he is prakarshena ajnah. In waking and dream also we are ignorant
only. But in waking and dreaming some knowledge is there. In sleep total ignorance is there. So
pra ajna. Superlatively ignorant. Sankaracarya does not take it generally. He takes it as isvara as
prajna is isvara at samashti level. He is not alpajna or ajna. So isvara being sarvajna prajna is
sarvajna. Taking prajna as sakshi he is sarvajna. There are no divisions in sleep. When he
identifies with one human intellect he becomes alpajna. Prakarshena sarvam janati iti prajna and
prajnah eva praajna. Next mantra same third pada from samashti level.

What do you mean by ekibhutah. Previously aneka bhutah. Now ekibhutah. Same person.
Previously sa-prapanca and now without prapanca that is avayakritah. Sthana-dvaya+ Duality
(triputi) that is spinned off by the mind (manasaa spanditam) or set up by the mind. Without
karana or mind, there is absence of karma or vishaya. Sthana dvayena not dvayat. That which
remains divided by waking and dream. That dvaitam which is sthula and sukshma. All that. That
dvaitam which is vyakrtam, is not given up but continues in the karana avastha. It is that in which
there is no discrimination now as this is jnata, this jneyam etc. Like the day is completely
overwhelmed by darkness. Day here is prapanca. It is darkness that obtains in night. Nisi
bhavam. Devoured by darkenss like. It is all there. It is in one indistinguishable form. In other
words free from triputi.

He is called prajnana ghana. Ghanibhuta. Dense. Prajnanam stood divided. It is not there. So this
various forms of prajna that is sound etc karma prajna, karana prajna, kartru prajna. Which obtain
in waking and dream. They all become one blob of consciousness. This particular state is called
prajnana ghana. Why not prajnanam. It is Brahman alone. It is avastha here. Hetu is aviveka
rupatvat. Ajnana rupatvat. Due to aviveka it has become one. There is no viveka that I am atma.
What is there is amta only. So it is called prajnana ghana. It was waker consciousness. Later
dream consciousness. Now dense consciousness. No divisions. Difficult to translate ghana.
Bhashyakara also finds difficult to give the meaning. So when you find difficulty to translate a
word you have no alternative but use a sentence and explain. By the nightly darkness when there
is no moon not even glow-worm. Cloudy also and so no stars. Intense darkness. Pitch darkness.
Nothing is divided or distinguished. This is pot, this is cot iti. So too prajnana ghana. prajna is
there. Discreet objects are not seen. Due to this enveloping darkness. In sleep also this enveloping
aviveka is there. So it is pragnana ghana.

He is called prajna. He is jnata later. What he can be, from that standpoint he is called. Status of
being knower of what happened and what will happen. At 8/00 bell will ring and there will be
breakfast. It is bhavishya jnanam. That you were sleeping one hour before is also bhuta jnanam.
He becomes so after sleep. It is for prajna. This fellow becomes jnata. He is central figure. He
himself depends on somebody else. That we will see later. He has the jnatrtvam of all objects.
From the standpoint of that jnatrtvam which will be there through upadhi, he is prajna. He
explains his own sentence. How can you call him knower of everything. He does not know the
svara of snoring. He will commit suicide if you show him his snoring after waking. He is a great
musician. So it is bhuta purva gati. He was jnata before.
Or he is of the nature of peculiar rupam which is not available in waking and dreaming. No
division. Divisionless prajna. Karika says prayena ajnah. Why prayena? Because he does not
know anything whether atma or anatma. For other two fellows there is visishta vijnanam. For
sleeper it is not. So asadharanam rupam. That is called prajnah.
He is in all the different upadhis. There may be many sarvajnas. No. Ayameva. he alone is
sarvajna. What about vyasa etc. They are all sarvajnas due to isvara’s grace. Their sravajnatva is
limited. Here he is the knower of everything that has gone before and everything that is going to
come. Bahuni ms + This prajna alone is sarvajna.
What is antaryami? Entering into all upadhis, one who sustains everything. The law and order - in
that form alone he sustains.

Swami Paramarthananda
Visva, Taijasa and prajna are same consciousness functioning in three avasthas. Even though
consciousness remains the same in all three avasthas we give different names to this
consciousness because it appears to be different when it is functioning in different avasthas. So
we call these three avasthas as upadhis. The uniqueness of upadhi is that it does not change an
object but makes an object appear differently. General example given is the crystal which is
colourless and different kinds of flowers just red etc, When you keep red flower, the flower
cannot change the crystal and crystal is colourless. Even if you rub the flower in the crystal, the
colour cannot be transferred to crystal. But because of its proximity or nearness, crystal appears
as red crystal. Therefore the flower does not change but makes it appear as a changed one.
Colourless crystal is now a red crystal. It has not become red.
And therefore we can say upadhi makes a seeming difference in a nearby object. Upadhi brings a
seeming difference in the nearby object. The nearby object is called upahitam. Thus upadhi
brings about a seeming difference in upahitam. Flower is upadhi and crystal is upahitam. You
remove the red flower and bring a blue flower, then nothing happens to the crystal; but the new
upadhi makes a seeming change in the crystal and there is now blue crystal. It appears as if the
red crystal has become a blue crystal. Imagine blue flower is removed and there is an yellow
flower. This upadhi brings a seeming change in crystal and now it appears as a yellow crystal. We
may count three crystals.
In the same way jagrat is upahdi no 1 and svapna no 2 and sushupti is 3. Consciousness ‘I’ am the
upahitam. Waking being an upadhi brings about a seeming difference in me and I am called
waker I. In the presence of jagrat upadhi there is a seeming change in me and it is the formless
awareness ‘I’ is a formful awareness. You can give big bio data to this ‘I’ with height and weight.
I am the upahita caitanyam. I do not gain any attributes in reality. It is purely due to upahdi.
When jagrat upadhi is gone and svapna upadhi comes, I am still like colourless crystal. But due to
svpana upadhi has a fresh seeming change and fresh set of attributes as dream ‘I’. So too in sleep
I have another set of attributes due to sushupti upadhi. Because upadhi gives different attributes
and so ‘I’ appear as different ‘I’ as waker I and so on having different attributes. So we count
them as pada no 1 and pada no 2 and pada no 3. Pada difference is due to upadhi and not due to
atma difference. Uopadhibhedat pada bhedah. Now the question is if all the three upadhis are not
there, if all the three flowers are not there, what is the svarupam of crystal? It is crystal clear.
Without three avasthas I am the turiya atma, the fourth pada.
Before that the three sopahika padas ar sumemd up by acarya.
Swami Dayananda
Karikas covering the six mantras dealing with three padas are given here. Since three padas were
told, here one may think that each pada is different from one another and so three atmas are there.
It is not so. It is only nama bheda and krama bheda but not svarupa bheda iti gaudapadacarya says
now. All the three are turiya atma only.

Visva is in the opening of the right eye; whereas Taijasa is within the mind and Prajna is in
the space within the heart. The self is placed in the body in three different ways.
Further this visva taijasa and prajna are not experienced only in these three states. To point out
here is visva, here is taijasa, - the avasthas were described before. Visva himself experiences all
the three. He is taijasa and prajna. Even in waking state itself you can experience all the three.
You can recognise all the three in waking state itself. When you experience the world through the
instruments of knowledge, visva is out. Same visva if he closes his eyes and imagines swami he
becomes taijasa. There is no indirya vishaya for him then. Memory alone is presented in the form
of vritti like in svpana. Therefore we understand this person is taijasa. When there is resolution of
all thinking and subject-object relationship is resolved then he is prajna only in waking state.
Swami Paramarthananda
Gaudapadacarya gives an incidental information though not much relevance for our discussion. It
is : In the upasana section of Upanishads these three atmas are attributed with different locations
in the body. It is for meditation. Caitanyam has no sthanam. It is an imaginary sthanam just for
upasana. Like we build temple and we say lord is here in the temple. We go to the temple to have
darsan of lord. We also say god is all pervading. Why do we do so? No contradiction but sthanam
is given for the sake of upasana.
What type of upasana? Vyashti samashti aikya upasanam. Visva virat aikyam and taijasa HG
aikyam and prajna isvara aikyam. To practise these three meditations the upasana section gives
sthanam. Here the topic is not upasana. Even if you take off this section, Upanishad or karika will
be intact. Visva is located in the right. eye. Mukha means opening or dvaram. In waking avastha
eyes are open. So it is said dvare.
Why such positions are given. Upanishad does not give any logic and so we accept the statement
of Upanishad and take it as location. If you want to justify the Upanishad then Sankaracarya will
give this: Eyes are important organ through which we get maximum experiences. Throughout the
day you make a list of experiences. Most of the experiences pertain to or relate to perception of
eyes alone. The range is vast. If touch has to know, the object has to be close to body. You have to
touch and know. Smell however powerful it may be it cannot go beyond a limited distance.
Tongue also has limited range. Hearing also has small radius. Eyes can enjoy even sun rise. It is
crones of miles away. You can see stars which are many light years away. Eyes are therefore very
powerful instrument. You gather information from TV through eyes. Even among the eyes,
generally right one is powerful. People are generally right handed. Similarly right eye is more
powerful than the left eye. So it is sthanam of visva
Taijasa is located in inner mind. It can be sub-conscious mind where vasanas or samskaras are
stored. In waking you use the mind but which is upper mind. Whatever you receive you put inside
like the monkey eating groundnut. It will keep putting there. Later it can take out and eat.
Similarly our mind has inner pouch called cittam. Cittam is memory pouch or samskara pouch or
sub-consciousness pouch. You gather all experiences when in pilgrimage and talk about it for
days on return. It is memory. So antah manasi taijasah. HG-taijasa aikya upasanartham sthanam.
Praajna is located in the space of heart. During the sushupti avastha all our organs are supposed to
resolve in the heart space. Including antha karanam. It is called inner space. There where there are
no thoughts, (called karana sariram), pranja is located as it were. It is all not real. Prajna-isvara
aikya upasanarhtam. It is called daharopasana.
Thus in three different ways, they are located in the body. Thus names and locations have been
given. Now comes the experiences.

In waking state alone to show that three is experience of all the three viz. visva etc. for you. We
have already done namakranam for them as visva etc. When? In waking state alone. Anubhava is
already there. Only to point out those experiences. There is a sruti vakya in Br. Up Janaka is
being Pointed out that this person who is abiding in right eye. is pointed out. Right eye alone sees.
Left only gives dimension and depth only, some say. The idea is right eye is more powerful. This
is meant for meditation. You close your left eye and the person behind right eye is indhah one
who is effulgent. He is called indrah. Those who do not like what is right in front, they want only
paroksha alone. They look for oblations. Like even manushya. He is not satisfied with what he
has and he is worried about what he does not have. So we do not enjoy what we experience right
now. Either we are worried about what we missed out before. I will get this, I will get that - in this
idea we do not enjoy what is right now. Same jiva has gone there also. So there also he is
paroksha priya. They are looking for svaha. Visva is made famous in right eye or meditation.

Dakshinam is right eye. Mukham is dvaram. Right eye is face where you recognise. In that. Why
do you say so? Because he sees gross objects abiding there. Who is he? Visva. In meditation we
use this. The conscious being who hears the sound effortlessly is this visva Eye is upalakshana for
ears etc also. Immediately you can recognise the visva. Tension is based upon willing person.
Willing is suspended and there is no tension. You are hearing without your will. Hearing takes
place without your will or effort. So purusha then is recognised. It is all sastra. It is all sastra. He
quotes sruti for this.

vairaja atma. So too behind this body in right eye is adhyatma atma. Both are one.)*
Sruti: This being who is in the right eye is named Indha.
One who is obtaining in the right eye, the upalabdhi sthanam. Who is he Eshah means nitya
aparoksha. Ha vai etc are prasiddhi. He is prasiddha as iddha. That is his name. It is for the
vyutpatti standpoint a name is given. Idhyate dipyate.. In the waking state one who shines.
Behind the dakshina akshi he shines. It stands for all other karanas and senses. He shines as the
enjoyer of gross objects. Bhoktrutvam is pramatrtvam. One who recognises the sthula vishyas.
Even though he is indhah. people look upon him as Indra. Paroksha priyas are devas. Even
though he is aparoksha they look upon him as paroksha, one who is ruling etc. Indra is Iddha the
HG. HG is in this form. Vairaja atma. He is very svarupa of virat. He explains the word indhah.
When ever this quotation is there, we should go there and see the context. One who has the
characteristic of shining. Shining means cetana. Aditya is within virat. He is virat. The sthula part
of it. HG is inside aditya. He obtains behind the shtula prapanca and who sustains it. One whose
order is non-separate prate from the consciousness. He is HG. Kriya sakti etc. Viaraja atma
means atma of virat. The purusha in the right eye is the same as HG, the indhah. There is no other
purusha. I have to see. It is a beautiful sruti .

An objection here. Ho can you say one who obtains in right eye is HG? One eyed person. He has
no left eye. How can he be HG. HG is all knowledgeable. This person is ignorant. He is ordainer
or controller of senses. He makes the eyes see. Eye as sense organs. Eye’s presiding deity is sun,
you may say. Still it is samashti HG. He is ruler. Indriya is only a functionary. The one who is
behind is ordinary jiva, the kshetrajna. So how can you say niyamya as niyanta. One is governed
and another is governor. He is different from niyanta and so anyah. He is in this vyashti upadhi.
One is prapanca swami and he is deha swami. Asami. So how can you say HG is dakshinakshi
purusha.

There is no problem. HG is not anyah. That is the meaning of nanj. One who obtains in the senses
etc is not separate from HG. Why? Because bheda is not accepted in reality. Jiva bheda is
imaginary. It is not real. Once you say samashti samashti sukshma sarira abhimani is atma. That
HG is he identified with this sukshma sarira or not? My sukshma sarira is included in samashti. I
do not stand out separate. This abhimani is there only HG. One claimant is HG. Another is me.
Like many cells are there in the body. Suppose each cell thinks I am separate cell and they have a
society of cells. Some want to multiply. Then some may say we should have family planning etc.
Cancer is nothing but multiplication of cells. Body cannot handle it. It is somebody’s love for
multiplication. Like Lord desired to multiply. In this, each cell is abhimani. You become samashti
cell abhimani. You become virat or HG. Sukshma sarira makes the cells alive. A live cell. That
sukshma sarira is HG or prana. So this fellow says I am the one who is in the all cells. Abhimani
devata. Each one says no no I am separate. it is due to aviveka. Viveka is to know that the
difference is due to upadhi. As though there is one cell and a there is all cells put together.
Samashti and vyashti upadhi - both are upadhis. Both can be together because there is one atma
from which both are not separate. I am the one who gives satta and sphurti to all of them. Vyashti
and samashti is there right in the body. Looking out means paroksha priya. Svatah means
svarupatah. Vastava bheda is not accepted.

sanyasa. But difficult. Child wants attention of adult. So all this problem. Without giving up
sastra, paying attention to one’s own pratibandha without self criticism is called sraddha. Sraddha
in oneself and lord and sastram. So the answer is it is not vibhaktam or undivided whole. But
appears as divided due to upadhi. Like akasa.

Why this purusha in right eye. So many purushas. I obtain in wholebody. There is no peculiar
existence in any part. Still in the right eye, the power of perception is high. Patava is excellence.
Eye’s capacity to perceive is excellent in right eye. Right eye is that which sees. Right upadhi has
patutvam. So thus pointed out as in right eye.

22 People sitting by a sleeping person clearly perceive the activities of the prana. And an
additional argument proving that prana is a manifested entity is provided by the fact that the
organs become identified with it in sleep. ‘Unmanifested’ means ‘devoid of the limitations of time,
space and things.’ Prana is not so in deep sleep.
not acting alongwith mind but one is active that is prana. Morning he gets up hungry. So prana
was active. Night he did not do anything. What happened? He get sup like a wolf. Why? Keep
the wolf out of your doors. Keep hunger out of doors. It is always an hungry animal. It requires
energy because it runs all the time. They keep on hunting and eating. So wolf stands for hunger.
Hunger is called wolf. Morning he gets up hungry and so we can do anumana here In the night
something must be active and since no other organ is active and therefore prana is active. Samana
is active. Prana was active. All my neighbours can validate. So in prana jiva is bound. So how can
you say prana is avyakrta? It is vyakrita. Liver etc is working. Vyana is working and so
circulation is there. (In sleep prana is vyakrita - pratyaksham for others and anumana for me).
So in deep sleep prana is differentiated as five fold. And it is active. Prana is karya rupa and so
vyakritata and not kaaranatma. All karanas become one prana. They resolve in prana. At the time
of death also prana goes away. With all karanas. If prana is avyakrtata, then only we can equate
with isvara. Avyakrta avastha we have to establish for prana. So it is huge contention. If
avyakrtata is not proved then no equation with isvara possible for jiva. So how can there be
avyakrtata for prana in sleep.

This is not a problem. Because what is avyakrtam? it is like Brahman. It has no limitation of time
and space and object. Vyakrta or created object is in time and space and it has its own visesha like
pot. If avyakrita then no visesha. Time and space itself are vyakrta. Time and space being not
there in avyakrta, and so it is free from time and space and obejct. What is difference between
isvara’s avyakrta avastha and prajna’s avyakrta avastha. Isvara’s avyakrta is before srishti.
Vyakrta is creation. Before creation the world was undifferentiated. In deep sleep also what is
there? Avyakrta alone. No difference between deep sleep sate and state before creation. Both have
no concept of time and space and also no object. So identity is there between the two. Or no
difference between the two.
There is a difference. Here is mango seed and tamarind seed. There is difference between the two.
One is bid and another is small. What is avyakrta tamarind tree and avyakrta mango tree. Open
both and see. No difference. Seed is vyakrta. Between the not yet born son and daughter not yet
born for your friend what is the difference? That is called avyakrta. Non difference is avyakrta.

(Body will not function without identification. But with respect to prana it is not so.
Lord says prana being very important I will not hand it over to you. He keeps it in his
hand. You do anything with other organs. So even without abhimana prana functions. But
there is no bheda as to my prana and your prana. Therefore in sleep avyakrtata of prana is
samanah. ºÉÉè¹ÉÖ”ÉoùŸõ¬É |ÉÉhÉä ¨É¨É |ÉÉhÉ& iÉ´É |

That is okay. Here, you are pointing out all karanas are in the form of prana. Prana is vyakrta. I
am breathing. It is more an anumana. When anumana you do. I must have breathed. My samana
must be working. Apana definitely. At the tem of sleep you are not aware of your prana. So
avyakrtatvam si still there.
Here among people who have identification with given body, they have this abhimana that my
prana is disturbed, my stomach is disturbed. It is all prana. My prana iti prana is taken as limited.
Even though there is this abhimana as my prana and your prana, (that is vyakrta and not avyakrta)
still. When they hear through stethoscope they are looking into vyana. When they press your
stomach they are looking into samana (when indigestion is there), when they look into kidney it is
apana. Vyana they look into it is samana. They have a nice hammer and beat and see, it is vyana.
You have to hammer every one. So it is differentiated . When there is such individual abhimana is
there, then prana is no doubt vyakrta.
Still, when that identification has gone in deep sleep due to absence of abhimana with given body.
There is no identification with individual prana as my prana iti. Otherwise you will not snore. If
you have awareness of breathing then you will not snore. From that it is clear even great musician
is not aware. So prana is avyakrta in sleep.

Now he gives the example of death. Even though the fellow who identifies with this prana,
paricchinna prana abhimaninam. Prana is avyakrta. Prana abhimana laya is in sleep and prana
laya is in death. In pralaya avastha also. Vyakrta prana becomes completely avyakrta. In sleep
prana is there but no abhimana and so avyakrtata is samana.
Prasavabijatmakam is samanam. Avyakrta avastha in sleep and before creation - it is same.
Adhideivikam is avyakrtam. It is seed for the birth of creation.. Similarly sleep also is bija for the
birth of waking and dream. Where there is laya, that becomes seed or cause for creation. Birth
means arisal.

And the witness in the state of unmannifestedness and deep sleep is the same
(consciousness). Since the individuals who identify themselves with limitations or the
witnesses thereof appear as identical with the unmaniested, the foregoing attributes
“ekibhutah”, “prajnana ghanah” become appropriate with regard to him (prajna in deep
sleep identifying himself with prana).
Tad adhyakshah. Tayoh adhyakshah. From the standpoint of upadhi it was talked. From the stand
of upahita drishti, that is the caitanyam behind the upadhi, like the crystal is upahita for flower.
For both waking and dream, the upahita is same for both that is avyakrtavasthah. It is atma.
Here, having established this oneness between sleep and avyakrta, in that sleep the viseshana said
before namely eshah sarvesvarah etc. and prajnana ghanah etc are justified. Now one who is
identified with given physical body, such people. Also the atma that is upahita and it is
adhyaksha. For both there is oneness due to the reason said. Ekibhutah is viseshana said before.
There is no vishaya vishayi bheda is not there. Again prajnana ghana - there is no antah or bahish
prajna. No waking or dream consciousness. Ajnanam means there is no recognition of any object.
Prajnana ghanatvam implies the presence of ignorance. Otherwise there is no question of your
giving this name prajnana ghana. Only prajna matram should be there and no turiyam also
necessary. In third state itself you are satyam jnanam anantam Brahman. No need for fourth state.
So there is ajnanam in the deep sleep state. It is a state of experience. So turiyam we have to talk
about. Adi word is for sarvajna etc. Avyakrta sushupti is bijam for waking and dream and there
also. It is also ukata hetu. All the said attributes become proper because there is oneness between
adhyatma and adhideiiva. Why? Tasmin ukta+

In sleep jiva referred to by the word ‘mind’ has Isvara referred to by the word ‘prana’, as
adhara.
Prana is pranavritti as per rudhi. If you say it is avyakrta there is virodha with rudhi. Like Rama
is son of Dasaratha by rudhi. If you say ramante yoginah+ iti rama is atma - this is vyutpatti. So
prana is pancatmaka vayu vikara. He is breathing prana means not he is breathing avyakrta. Prana
is disturbed means health is disturbed or some respiratory problem and not avyakrta artha is there,
that is, resolution. Rudhi is popular meaning. You are rude to sastra, if you say prana is
avyakrtam. Avyaktra becomes vishaya for prana word.
Answer is: Elsewhere prana sabda has rudhyartha in prana vritti in vyavahara. But because of the
usage of the word in sruti, on the strength of usage in the sruti, it is proper for avyakrta
vishayatvam for the word prana. Sruti uses in that sense. That is all. We are trying to understand
what sruti says.
Where is that Sruti? I have not seen. With closed eyes how can you see. Prana bandhanam+ mana
is here mana-upadhistha jiva. This Ch. Sruti. There prana sabda is used as sadatma or sadvastu.
That is prakritam. Jiva goes back to sad vastu. Sad is which is the cause for everything.
(Now the purvapakshi is questioning siddhanti that you are quoting a place where the
word prana has come. But how do you say the word prana is used in the sense of isvara.
That is only your interpretation.)

Examples for lrng. If by Sruti it is intended to be said that sat is nirbija rupam or without being
the cause that is pure satyam etc. then what would happen. Sruti will say in this manner: Neti neti.
Anything you attribute to vastu - it is not. Not only that. Yato vaco+ All negative will be there
very much. Anyadeva+ That vastu is other than what is known to you as well as what is unknown
to you that is karyam and karanam. In Gita also, we have na sat tat na asat+ Sat is karanam and
asat is karyam. Thus it would say. But it says sadeva+ tad aikshata. etc It is just opposite. So sad
vastu is only presented as karanam only. So avyakrta upadhi is very much there.

Suppose at this time when one sleeps one is one with sat atma and that sat is nirgunam Brahman,
then punar utthanam is seen. After pralaya also there will not be any creation. Because there is no
bija. So we say karanam is there. If Brahman is intended to be said as without being cause or
causal upadhi, then for those who have resolved in sat there or become one with sat; when? In
deep sleep and pralaya. pralayayoh 7th case dual. They cannot come back again because they will
be liberated. Jagat also useless if jivas are not there. From sleep also no way of coming back
because he has become one with Brahman which has no bija in it. Another thing - you do not
require any jnanam. Just sleep. But we see people getting back little more dull. ‘Coming back’
how can we account? Only when they are there in unmaninfest state.

Also people who have become free will come back. If they can become free without bija then one
can come back also from sat. If one can go to sat without cause it applies to coming back also.
Ajnana upadhi is not there and still if sleeper comes back, then it is equally applicable to muktas.
So prana indicates sabalam Brahman alone.

28 Avidyakrita etc is not there in karika. How does bhashyakara says. It is because the word
satam is there. If sat is born, it cannot be real. If sat is born undergoing change, then it is not sat.
So avidyakrita.

The son of a vandhya, asat, has not even a false birth. Other sats have atleast a kind of a
false birth. Real birth is not there for anything.
Things that exist alone - all things that exist. Who are they? Visva etc. Plus their worlds also
because without the world they are not visva etc. The creation of them - How? By svena atmana
eva. Purusha with his own svarupam alone comes into being in the form of this world. Maya here
is mithya. Avidya kritam means avidya upadhi krtam or karana rupa upadhi krtam. Name and
form maya. Difference is called maya which is mithya reality wise. Form wise it is bhedas.
Purusha’s utpattih is due to avidya alone. Nama rupa karya jagat’s utpatti also is svena atmana
only. Let me become many - thus he desired. satam - satkarya vada.
Acarya will say (bhashyakara says thus) later that vandhya putrah is never born. He is not born
through maya also. karana is vandhya and she is not a cause of putra. She is non-existent
karanam. She is sat. Not even falsely born. Nor really born. Sat cannot come into being from asat.
World is appreciated as sat and cause also must be sat. We do not say that it is real. In fact it is
real also okay because it is not apart form satyam vastu. Satyam has not undergone a change to
become this world. Satyam is not jagat. Jagat is satyam.

´É¤ÉÉävªÉiÉä* That is why we say words do not reveal a completely new
brahman. Brahman that is already svayamprakasa alone is revealed as that thou art.)
Sruti virodha is pointed out. If this jagat is born of asat - then two problems are there. 1) Then
sruti virodha is first. Sruti says sat eva saumya idam+ 2) By this karana karya sambandha alone
Brahman is appreciated as satyam. Satah janma na udpadyate satvat ghatavat. So existing pot can
not be born. If non-existent thing is born then from some where suddenly it is born. Jagat is
connected to no where. Between the jagat that is born and the karanam sat vastu Brahman there is
no connection. So through karyam, knowing the karanam is not possible. Like knowing the cause
clay through pot. Jagat cannot become a means for understanding sadvastu as it is presented in
sruti. If from asat alone utpatti is there or non-existent thing alone comes into manifestation,. then
Brahman being not available for any pramana it cannot be known at all due to absence of any
means of recognition. Brahman is avyavaharyam. Not available for objectification. Naturally of
that Brahman how do you get to know the karanatvam. Sruti says you have to know Brahman to
gain param. How it is known as everything etc. Brahman is sarva karanam - this is the only way
to know that jagat is non separate from Brahman and sarvam khalu idam Brahma and that
Brahma is me and so I am everything. For this we should have pratipatti upaya. Asat is not
connected to anything.

The snake that you see is non-existent alone. It was not there before. No. It was in the form of
rajju alone.
Thus all bhavas that are existent now before their utpatti have their existence in the form of bija
or prana sabdita bija. Sruti also says this. Brahman alone is everything. With reference to
vyakrtam this sruti that Brahman is all. With reference to avyakritam one more sruti. Atma is all
this.
The explanation of the second line starts now. There also the utpatti of sarvam by prana is told
later. First he takes jiva utpatti.

This pranah creates sarvam, the entrie inert world and purusha creates cetomsun. And purusha
means sabala atma. One is upadhi pradhana (upadanam) and sva pradhana (nimittam). Amsavah
iva amsavah. Sarupah (visphulingah) - that is the only meaning. It is not to show sparks. For
visishtadvaitins, sparks are different from fire. Upadhitah spark but agnitvam is not given up.
Pranah here means avyakrita upadhi avacchinna caitanyam. Atma looked at from the standpoint
of this prana upadhi it is upadana karanam. From the standpoint of upahita caitanyam it is nimitta
karanam. Inert from cetana is answered by bringing in upadhi. Jiva is also not created but
manifestation of caitanyam. Thus purusha creates jivas, upadhistha jivas.
Like the rays of sun here rays of consciousness. Each upadhi there is a conscious bieng with
bheda of visva etc. They are called ceta amsus of purusha who is in the form of caitanyam. It is
‘eva’ because consciousness cannot be divided. Cetorupah meaning caitanya abhasas. Reflected
consciosuness is padhi avacchinna caitanyam. Visva etc. They are not different from purusha.
Like one sun appearing many in upadhi of water. So too purusha is many due to many minds.
Each upadhi there is one arka like. Abhinnah ityarthah. Bhinnah iva vibhavyamanah. Each one
has this threefold maninfestation. They are recognsied as visva et cin various upadhis. Upadhis
are deva, animals (grows horizontally). Who are they? Cetomsavah jivah. These jivas purusha
creates separately. Separately because they are distinct from vishayas. Pramatru-prameya bheda is
there. Vishaya is jada. He is pramatru distinct from it. Like spark, he does not give up caitanyam.
So sarupa. Each spark is caitanyam. It is not to show manyness. It is one only like one sun
appearing many in water. Jalarkavat to point out oneness. Agni+ is to point out salakshanam.
Vishayi is established. Vishaya is then born. How? Prana creates them. Itaran points out vishayi
vilakshana. Sabdadi atmakam jagat. Are they two causes, prana and purusha? Like urnanabhi it is
one abhinna cause. Svapradhana and sva upadhi pradhana. It is buddhiman and saktiman. It is
because of which upadhi it is called spider, that upadhi itself becomes material cause. Lord is
both. Like in dream. When you are relating to Lord you are relating to nimitta karanam. You
cannot relate to material cause and claim some result. One may tend to miss nimitta karanam.
Sarvatmatvam and sarvagatatvam is as upadana karanam.

By some people the creation is considered to be comparable to dream or magic. But, some
other creation-thinkers consider the creation to be the glory (of the Lord).
Swami Paramarthananda
This much general acceptance is there by all people that is isvara creates all beings, jivas (one,
standing for bhogya prapanca) and things and objects (second, bhoktru prapanca). There is inert
world and world of living beings - scientists also accept. What is the nature of creation and how it
is created - various opinions are there.
Advaitic view is - creation is unreal. Whole creation is a myth, error. Like svapna and maya or
magic. Magic is not real and so too dream. So too srishti is unreal. He just objectively presenting
and does not say which is right and which is wrong. Anyaih means by some people. Now first
line. Whereas some other creation thinkers say that creation or utpatti is glory of the Lord. It is
the greatness of the Lord. Visishtadvatins etc they say. Lord is real and god’s glories are real. So
srishti is as real as god. In support of this they quote 10 th chapter of Gita. Karta, bhokta and
bhogyam - every thing is real.
Swami Dayananda
Various contentions with reference to srishti is talked. Srishti cintakas are those who have adara
in creation or tatparyam (commitment) in creation. Another is one who is interested in vastu.
Philosopher is called cintaka. He thinks and concludes wrongly. So he is cintaka. There are two
types of conclusions. Well thought out wrong conclusions and without thinking wrong
conclusions. Here in sastra there is creation pointed out. Whether sastram is committed to srishti
or something else? It is srishti or through srishti something else? It is vastu praitpadanam only
because it alone liberates. How does srishti affects me? We are utilitarian. We want to see the
usefulness of anything. Like ants (ants are great explorers) move around looking for something.
So srishti has taken place in this manner or any other manner - it does not have anything to do
with my life. Knowing srishti I can relate well they say. With whom? This srishti thy accept first
and then search for how it has happened. We question whether it is creation or not. It may not be
created at all. What is the question and not how it come about. What is will answer how it come
about.
All are srishti cantatas. They consider that creation is glory of lord. Meaning it is real. It is an
extension of Lord. We also say it is glory. But we know what reality it enjoys. Baudhdas consider
it as dream. They say it is all born of your thoughts. Like dream and magic it is unreal - without
any adhishthanam down below. It is sunyam. Idealism. Subjectivism. It is all thought alone and it
does not basis underneath.

Others are srishti cintakas. What about you. We talk about what is. We have commitment only in
paramartha vastu. Adara is asakti or enthusiasm. These people say - vistara is extension. A
theologian say it is isvara’s extension. Extension means what? Is it like a seed bulging. Seed is
not any more there afterwards. It is dead. So Lord is not there because he has become world. In
parinama it happens. Isvara was. It cannot be that kind of parinama. Then what is that extension?
It is sesha seshi. One part of me becomes world. Isvara is sehsi and all these is sesha or visesha. I
am a noun is ignorance and I am only adjective - iti they say. Is the substantive different from
vishesha. If different how you call him? Is he viseshi or nirviseshi. If nirviserhsi then how visesha
can be his attribute? It is contradiction. If he is saviseshi then how can viseshi can have visesha
being already viseshi. Na tu+

This indra not devata. Indra is paramesvara. He with vyashti upadhis, he appears as many. Iyate
means pratiyate. As though many due to upadhi. Maya is said to show upadhi is mithya and not

Just as this magician setting up a rope in the space. That it self is a magic. Threw the rope up and
it is standing like a pole. Then he climbs up with a weapon. Tena means through the rope.
Sutrena. He is going to fight with gandharvas. He says so. Then, he disappears reaching the end
of the rope. Because of his fight, he falls on the ground, being cut into pieces. Then he gets up.
Namaste. People who look at this person, they have no commitment to the magic. They are only
amused. They have no real desire to find out the truth of it. They do not impute any reality to the
magic because they have come for magic show. They know it is magic. It is all as though
happening. It is like movie. It is empathy. Crying is empathy and pop corn also you take because
it is movie. You do not go behind to find out any reality for it. It is all light and show. Mayavi krta
maya etc. Maya karyam is the meaning of etc. satatva is truth. In enquiring into the truth of all
this - you have no enthusiasm. Nothing had happened.
I am interested in finding out how it came about. Then you are a philosopher. For one who
understands this is magic, for him there is no adara. You may try to find out how he performs the
magic. For that we have enough srishti. That is not a commitment. Example here is that in that
magic there is no paramarthika buddhi and so no question of tatva vicara. No one tries to enquire
into the reality of those events as to whether they are real or not.

Now darshtanta is pointed. The magic is not simple. It is some hind of hypnotism. He keeps them
under a spell. So they see something which is not true. Similarly this projection (vikasa, not
extension) of sleep etc of mayavi. Whose vikasa? Of mayavi Lord. He is in the place of
magician. He throws up these three states. Like the magician climbs up, this maayavi also enters
those states. This paramartha mayavi is distinct from the rope and the one who enters the states.
There also magician is standing on the ground only and he is not seen because he is covered by
the magic. Here also Mayavi is covered by ignorance. Visva etc alone are seen like the one
climbing is alone seen. The fourth which is paramartha tatvam is not seen.

(Tureeya) is not the external consciousness, not the internal consciousness, not the

Swami Paramarthananda
In the previous four mantras three padas were described. Now 4th pada is being talked. In the
introduction it was said soyamatma catushpat. Kramatah fourth is praptah. It is known by
different names. It is known as caturtham, caturiyam and turiyam. Turiyam means simply fourth.
It is an ordinary Sanskrit word referring to number. Gaudapadacarya uses turiyam
Upanishad is going to find it difficult to reveal. First three padas were easy to reveal as we
experience them already. Visva is waker. We have no problem in knowing visva. So too taijasa
the second pada. Ghana prajna is also well known, the third pada. Really speaking visva etc are
not at all new things revealed by sastra. It is restating what is already known. We call it anuvada
vakyam. We do not lean something new. Like fire is remedy, medicine for cold. Agnih himasya
bheshajam. This vakyam is anuvada. You do not have to read Veda to know this. When it reveals
something which we do not know, Tat tvam asi - you are the substratum of the whole universe,
immortal Brahman etc. such vakyam are called pramana vakyams. Anuvada is pramanantara
gamya vishyakam vakyam. So 7th mantra is pramana vakyam. So this is the central theme of the
Upanishad. All others are preparations only.
How it is going to reveal the fourth pada. In the case of the first three padas they were revealed
consciousness associated with waking state etc. In keeping with this, we will have a
misconception that we will expect turiyam is also consciousness associated with some avastha.
Many people say that it is consciousness associated with turiyavastha. Some others say this turiya
avastha is samadhi. Upanishad does not think so. If there is turiya or samadhi avastha it should be
defined as what? Positively. Jagaritasthanah etc. So fourth is samadhi sthanah or turiyasthanah
etc. If there had been such a avastha, Upanishad would have definitely told so. There is no
sthanah it is. So one point becomes clear that fourth pada is not consciousness associated with
any state. This is very important to note because otherwise in order to know fourth pada we will
try to go to different states of experience. Meditation trip begins here. Now only visva is only
available. For turiya is should go to some other state.
If you say fourth pada is associated with any particular state, certainly it would become
temporary. Why? Because any state is temporary. Avastha means temporary. It is fluctuating. If
turiya is associated with a state it is a fluctuating state. Turiyam is said to be permanent which is
always there. So how can we associate with a particular state. Turiyam is permanent because
waker is, turiyam is. Taijasa is, turiyam is. Where as waker is, dreamer is not. So waker etc are
vyabhicarat svarupam. So we should not say turiya avastha. Turiyam we use but not turiya
avastha.
What is it then? Is it identical to visva etc or it is different from all the three. Upanishad has
difficulty in dealing with this. If it is any one of them then why do you call it fourth? If it is
different from all the three, then it must be associated with some other thing. We are going to say
it is fourth. I will give you an example then it will become clear
Suppose a person has bangle chain and ring on the table. I tell him I want to talk to you
something about gold. I used a new word gold. he thinks I am going to bring in fourth thing. Gold
- is it fourth thing? No.. Can I say gold is identical with the three? No. then I should not have
used a different word called gold. I should have used one of the three words. It is different from
the three but at the same time it is in and through the bangle etc. It is not away from the three. It is
different from three but not away from the three. When I say different you look around. But I say
it is not away then you come back to three. So take the bangle and when you remove the bangle
name and form what is left out is gold. Similarly with chain. Bangle etc are temporary. Gold is
permanent. Gold is turiya pada. Permanent gold appears as temporary bangle because of
temporary name and form. Bangle minus chainness is permanent gold. Ness is name and form.
Turiyam is also same way explained. Visva only in waking state. Dreamer only in dream state.
They are temporary. Turiyam is permanent. But not away from all the three.
How should you find out turiyam? You take the bangle and remove those attributes namely name
and form. Similarly take visva and remove all attributes. It is turiyam. So too taijasa minus
attributes of taijasa is turiyam. When I am waker, I am bahishprajna due to my identification with
physical body. Then I am a human being. Then I am male. I am 70 years and so on. With these
attributes I become visva. These attributes are temporary. The bahishprajnatvam is only as long as
I identified with body. The moment I withdraw the identification with body, then I am no more
bahishprajna. So it is temporary. I am a human being is also temporary until I am identified with
body. Remove the attributes and I am . That is all. You cannot add to I am. Any addition is
attribute. That I am is consciousness without any attributes. I am is turiyam. In taijasa also do so.
I refers to consciousness and am refers to existence. I am sat cit turiyam. In sleep also
anandabhuk etc are attributes. Remove them. I am prajnah. Very same prajna is turiya. To know
turiya you need not do anything. I am already turiyam. I have to only remove the
superimposition. Chain need not do anything to become gold. When I superimpose attributes then
I am visva. Remove them. So Upanishad is going to negate every attribute. It is not taking us to
another state. It asks you to remain where you are.
How to remove the attributes? When I say I am fat etc. find out fatness etc belong to I the
consciousness or it belongs to avastha. On analysis I find the attributes belong to the u0adhi or
avastha alone. It does not belong to upahita caitanyam. How do you prove it? I have got fatness
etc physical attributes only in the waking state. Where I am identified with body. In dream, I am
not identified with body. Those attributes do not belong to me. When avastha is there, attributes
are there. Avasthas are gone, attributes are dropped. So attributes belong to avastha. Even
attributes like father etc, happy etc learned etc. are there in waking state only. But can you say
consciousness is gone when waking state is gone. If consciousness goes, then you cannot see
dream. So consciousness is not an attribute but it is svarupam. So the logic is what constantly
follows me is my nature. Whatever does not constantly follow is not my nature. Worry, fatness,
happiness etc are not with me all the time. I, as the conscious being is always there even in sleep.
So I, the visva, take the properties from me and hand over to the avasthas and once this is done,
then I the visva is turiyam.
For this should I not go to samadhi? We are oriented towards that. Should I not do something to
remove the attributes. No. Here we should remember that when I say remove the attributes, really
speaking that is not true at all. If I have taken the attributes then I alone I have to remove the
attributes. Really speaking turiyam being asangah, no attributes can be taken by turiyam. If
attributes are not taken by turiyam then how do I see I am fat etc. it is mistaken attributes. Not
taken attributes. It is purely error in the mind., Nothing has happened to me the turiyam. It is not
scrubbing or washing the turiyam or going to special samadhi state. Even now visva is turiyam
only. Mistake is corrected that is all.
Here we have to remember the example. Suppose an object is dirty due to association with
something else. Then it is transfer. It is real one. Clean cloth piece associated with dirt. When the
dirt has been really transferred you have to wash it. When crystal is near the red flower, the
redness is not real transference. Crystal is clear ever. Even when you say it is red crystal, redness
is an adjective mistaken for crystal and the mistake in the mind. So turiyam also has not become
visva in waking state. If so, then samadhi is required. Visva etc has to be given up. Then how do
you say visva? It is mistaken title. Since it is intellectual problem, the solution is also an
intellectual solution. You need not remove the flower to know crsytal is clear. So it is only an
appearance. That means it is not real. The only sadhanam is to remove the thought from the mind
that crystal is red. So to arrive at pure turiyam we need not remove waking state. We need not
remove thoughts. We have to remove that thought by which I think that the attributes of waking
state belong to me.
In yoga thought has to be removed. In Vedanta rectification of wrong thought is prescribed. If
turiyam depends on removal then it is conditional. You are turiyam whether thoughts are there or
whether there are no thoughts. This wrong thinking alone is called adhyasa meaning taking
other’s attributes as my own.
If we recommend samadhi for knowing turiyam, then, suppose I come to turiyam by negating all
three avasthas, then knowership which is also is an attribute is available for visva and taijasas.
When these two avasthas are gone, then I am a knower or not knower. I am, no more a knower.
Who will be there in turiyam to know I am turiyam. In prajna itself I am not able to know I am
turiyam. Turiyam knows by itself. Then it will become pramata. Turiyam knows itself - let us
assume. You dropped visva etc. In waking state who suffers? Visva alone suffers samsara. When
in turiyam somebody gets knowledge, visva will continue to be samsari. So recognition of
turiyam is only in waking state only through sastra vicara that I am turiyam even when I appear
as visva.
This knowledge takes place only in waking state where sastram antah-karanam and guru are there
only in waking state. We do not negate samadhi avastha. It may be there. What we say knowledge
is not possible in samadhi state because mind is not there. Guru is not there. Sastra is not there.
Samadhi may help in quietening the mind. That is true. If sleep refreshes a person,. samadhi can
do it which is similar to sleep. Samadhi is also an optional means.
MANTRA
So Upanishad says that you are not visva but you are turiyah. Na bahishprajna is to remove you
are not visva. Am I not bahish prajna now? It is not I the atma caitanyam is extrovert. I the
caitanyam is all pervading consciousness which is neither extrovert or introvert., Mind is either
extrovert or introvert. Bahishprajnatvam of mind is taken for I caitanyam.
Similarly na antah prajnah. Mind becomes introvert in dream. You take it upon caitanyam. You
are not prajnah also. You are not in between prajna. We have only three avasthas. But here
Upanishad is talking about fourth avastha. Intermediary avastha. It is in between state. A border
state. It is like in border area they are mixture of both. When waking state is about to end and
sleep has not begun. It can be between dream and sleep or sleep and waking. Early morning
waking also. You may hear some words but you think it to be in dream. Antah and bahih is both
ways. Ubhayatah prajna is bahuvrihih. Ubhayatah prajna yasya sah. Mandukya uniquely
includes as fourth. It can be said then turiya is a state where all things you are aware of. All the
other three states you are simultaneously aware of. is it so? No. It is not simultaneously knower of
all. Prajnah means yugapat sarva prajnah. Samana kale. Visva knows only one at a time. That is
bahir vishayas. It is not prajnah. It is not independent knower of states nor simultaneous knower
of states. Then some one may think it is jadam. A jada vastu does not know anything. Na
aprajnah. Upanishad says it is not jadam. Double negative.
How will it look like? Upanishad says - you cannot ask that question. Because it cannot be looked
at all. Where is the question of looking like. It cannot be seen. Here seeing is upalakshanam for
all the other four perceptions like touching etc. Panca jnanendriya agocaram. It is beyond the
scope of five sense organs.
Avyavaharyam we will see later. Agrahyam. Lit it means that which cannot be grasped. For
grasping you need which instrument. Hand. Hand is what indriyam? So not within the scope of
organs of actions. Hand is upalakshanam for all other four karmendriyas. So panca karmendriya
agocaram.
Alakshanam - It cannot be inferred also. Anumana agocaram. It is pratyaksha agocaram. It is
anumana agocaram. How do you get this meaning. Here the word lakshanam means indication or
lingam. A clue is called lakshanam. Clue is always used for what? Inference. Where there is no
clue, there cannot be any inference. Alakshanam means that which has no clue. If it has no
lingam, it cannot be inferred. When there is some robbery, they want to find out some clues.
Based on that they will make inference. Smoke is lingo. It is ananumeyam.
Acintyam - That which cannot be thought of.. Inconceivable Unobjectifiable. Because you can
think if it is available for pratyaksha or anumanam. You cannot think of such a vastu.
Avyapadesyam. Indescribable. Lit it means naming. In the context it is describing. That which
cannot be described. Vag agocaranm. Yad vaca anbhyuditam+ That means sabda pramana
agocaram. It is not even available for sabda pramana. Not for pratyaksha, not for inference, and
not for sabda. Why not available for sabda pramanam? If we have to use words the object should
fulfil certain conditions - jatyadi. Sabda pravritti nimittani. (Dravyam included). Even decryption
is not possible.
Now you come back to avyavahryam. Sarva vyavahara agocaram. It is beyond all vyavaharas.
All vyavaharas means all jnana and karma and language vyavaharas. Knowing also is vyavahara
involving pramata, pramana and prameya. Involving visva and visva prapanca - Vyavahara takes
place. So too in dream. In sleep also small little vyavahara of anadabhuk is there. Experience
also is anther vyavahara involving three factors. Experience requires modification of thought. You
cannot use even the vyavahra of experience. Language vyavahra is not there. In Gita we saw - we
cannot use the word sat or asat or both.. Sarva vyavahara agocaram.
Then what is turiyam? When all vyavaharas are gone, what is the adhishtanam is turiyam.
Turiyam is basis for all vyavaharas. In turiyam we cannot have any transaction. It is not subject to
any transaction. Therefore how to know turiyam? To know is to come to vyavahara. I am turiyam.
I do not know turiyam. I do not want to know turiyam. I am turiyam.
Ekatma pratyaya saram. The nearest indication for turiyam is atma pratyayah. The I thought is
the nearest indication of turiyam. Aham iti pratyayah atma pratyayah. Atma pratyaya is saram or
indication or pramanam for turiyam. So. the nearest way of knowing turiyam is Aham turiyam
asmi. Why do say so? I alone is the constant factor in all experiences. Turiyam is avyabhicarat
svarupam. I also is avyabhicarat svarupam. So I am turiyah. I am awake. I dreamt. I slept. Karma
varies. What I dreamt varies. What I am awake to varies. That I experience does not vary.
Balyadishvapi+ I am balah, I am yuvah. In each avastha my experiences vary. I am
anuvartamanam. Each avastha negate the other. In balyavastha I was different. In vriddhavastha I
is different. If someone says so then what is the answer. You would not recollect the experiences
of balyavastha. That I is gone. But it is not so. Pratyabhijna is there. So I is constant. The
constancy of atma pratyaya is indicated by Ekam.
Santam - We will see prapanco+ later. Santam means peaceful. Undisturbed. How? Because no
vyavahara. All asanti belongs to vyavahra. Even in sleep we do not have asanti. What to talk of
turiyam. Avyavaharyatvat. Therefore sivam. Anandam or mangalam.
Next word is advaitam. The Upanishad introduced this mantra as the definition of fourth pada.
Naturally how many padas are there. Four We started so. Then we said visva is first and taisajasa
is second and prajna is third. Tuiryam must be what? Fourth. But suddenly sruti says advaitam.
That means turiyam is the only pada. It is nondual. That means other three are automatically
dismissed. If the other three are negated it is possible only under one condition. That is they are
mithya. If the other padas are mithya, you cannot count them. They are as good as not existent.
Turiyam alone is satyam. So advaitam. Since they are mithya, all those three are superimposed on
turiyam. How do you do that? You falsely attribute the extrovertedness on turiyam when mind is
extrovert. So turiyam appears as visva. Similarly with antahprajnatvam and ghanatvam. These
three false appearances are counted as three padas. Then turiyam appears as fourth. Just one
colourless crystal appearing as three colours.
From the standpoint of ignorant it is fourth. He counts visva etc So turiyam is fourth From the
standpoint of wise it is one. Caturtham manyante ajnaninah. Since the word turiyam is applied
from the standpoint of mithya one two three, from that standpoint the name turiyam is mithya. I
get some money. I am called rich person. Suppose I get some imaginary money or duplicate
notes, I am rich. My richness is what? Unreal. The status of richness is form the standpoint of
fake notes. So rich status is mithya. Person is not imaginary.
The Upanishad therefore says there is no question of four padas. You cannot call it fourth pada. It
is atma. It is not fourth quarter of atma. Knowing the turiyam is not knowing one fourth of atma.
It is knowing the whole atma. Turiyam alone is atma. What about visva etc? They were called
atma due to ignorance or false identification. Like anna maya was said to be atma. Thereafter
anyah antarah atma. Similarly visva etc are seeming atmas.
If fourth alone is satyam why should the Upanishad unnecessarily introduce the three padas
which are mithya? They are stepping stones to reveal the fourth. Once it is revealed the other
three are dismissed. Like scaffolding built for construction. This is called adhyaropa apavada
nyaya. The introduction of three padas are adhyaropa (mantra 3-6). Advaitam means apavada
prakarana (mantra 7).
One word was left out. It was prapanca upasamah. It is another crucial word of the seventh
mantra. The previous word important was advaitam. It does not mean other words are
unimportant. Based on these two words alone Gaudapada is building up the later three chapters.
Why do we say this word is important? Turiyam alone is reality we saw. This turiyam is
appearing as visva because of waking state upadhi. That is jagrat prapanca. Turiyam appears as
visva because of the upadhi called jagrat prapanca upadhi. So turiyam appears as visva and not
become visva. So it is only turiyam now also. Similarly appears as taijasa and prajna due to
svapna prapanca and karana prapanca upadhi.
The example of colourless crystal appearing as different colours. Because of this example one can
have a misconception. Let us analyse the example. There are three factors here. One is crystal.
Another is flower. Third is false appearance. Flower is upadhi. Colourless crystal is upahitam.
False appearance is red crystal. Turiyam is upahitam. Jagrat prapanca etc are upadhi. False
appearances are visva etc. The problem here is red crystal etc are false. Crystal is real. What
about flower? Flower is as real as the colourless crystal. Here what about the reality of upadhi of
jagrat prapanca etc. If they are as real as turiyam, then you cannot say turiyam is advaitam. The
three upadhis must be mithya. This is the difference between example and illustrated. Visva etc
are mithya and upadhi of jagrat prapnaca etc are also mithya. Upahitam turiyam alone is left out
as real.
Do such things happen to show upadhi is also mithya. We do have. The example is our dream. In
dream we become a false individual because of dream body. Dream body is our upadhi to become
individual. Upadhi the dream body is real or unreal. It is unreal. The dream individual also is
unreal. Some examples both upadhi and upahitam is real. Where upadhi is unreal it is
nirupadhika bhrama. When upadhi is real we call it sopadhika bhrama In crystal example it is
sopadhika bhrama. In Turiyam it is Nirupadhika bhrama. So Upanishad uses the word prapanca
upasamam. These three prapancas are not there in turiyam. They are mithya. In both types
upahitam is real. In both types what appears is unreal. The word prapanca upasamam indicates
upadhi is mithya. The appearances are also therefore false. So I am advaitam. We do not deny the
experience of dvaitam. We only do not give reality. So advaitam is falsification of dvaitam.
Satyam dvaitam na vidyate yatra.
Iti vijneyah. Everyone should know this fact. I am turiyam. Visva etc are my vesham.

It was said atma is of four quarters. Here three is concluded. Now comes fourth. Bhashyakara
introduces that. After three, fourth is krama prapatah. It has got to be told. Through positive
words three were presented. Fourth is presented by nishedha mukha. Since whole world cannot
be negated, world is put in three quarters. So sarvam okmara eva. Why it is negated? It is
necessary. You cannot get at truth without negation. Nishedha may lead to sunyam. If it is an
object you will not know about it anything by negating what it is not. But here what is left is self
evident. Why it is pointed out through negation? Because atma is taken as if it is visishta.

Because, it is self. Atmatvat. Atma is without visesha. So we have to negate them. Atma looks as
though it has viseshas. It is due to ignorance. If atma is said to be sabdaprajnah, rupa prajnah etc.
then sabda etc if negated which are incidental attributes, then what will remain is prajan. 1)
Fourth, that is self,. is free form sarva+ Sarvani sabda pravrtteh nimittani yani tesham sunyatvat
turiyasya. For turiya atma - rudhi (jati), sambandha (6th case), kriya guna etc. Words have access
only to an object which is recognised as object is called rudhyartha. Nandini means cow.
Rudhyartha. Pot also, Then jati which means species. Cow can point out to species, cowness or
individual cow. White cow means guna. To distinguish a member of a class from other members.
Then sambandha like king’s servant etc. Cook etc. By these things we can reveal an object. Atma
does not have any of them. Rudhi is possible if it is known through some other pramana. No
pramana for atma. No jait of atma. First atma itself is not known yet. No guna etc. on the basis of
what was already unfolded. Atma is established as asthulam etc. So words have no pravritti. So it
is not known through any word. It is not meaning of any given word. Between atma and words
there is no relationship of name and named. Sruti has intention to show atma only as free of all
viseshas. By negating the viseshas. Viseshanam pratishedhena.
If atma is substantive enjoying the qualities of waking consciousness etc., then there is no
question of negation possible,. But the very fact that they are negated shows that they do not
belong to atma. Then, why do say it is ‘not this’, ‘not this’ etc. Because all viseshas are not
independent of atma. Waker is not independent of atma. So mistake is possible and it is there.
That is why atma’s catushaptvam is there.

If sabda pravittti nimittas are not there for atma, then atma is sunyam. For baudhdas anything
property free is like vandhya purtra. It is zero. It is not true. We have got viseshas like antah
prajna etc for atma as of now. They are not anatma viseshas. Turiya has to be discovered. If they
are negated, then they are not atma viseshas. If they are not atma viseshas and taken to be atma
viseshas, then they are superimposition on atma. Then atma is adhishthanam for all of them. So
vikalpas like waker caitanyam etc are not possible without adhishthanam. There is no mithya
without satyam. It is there where mithya perception is there. Vimatam (what is under discussion
that is avastha trayam) sad-adhishthanam (existing adhishthanam) kalpitatvat (because they
themselves are negating each other). Atma is there in all of them while they are variable. So they
are kalpita. Like even rajata etc require suktika etc. An example is given for this.

Various examples are given because each one has certain quality. Silver on shell. Then there is
vishaya trishna and pravritti takes place. Snake on rope creates fear. So creation is bhaya hetu.
Tirshna and bhayam is samsara. Purusha on pillar can cause fear or be a support. And mirage
water is example for trishna. You find it is not there. Jnana adhyasa example it is. You see again.
Appearance of water is still there. But mistake is corrected. All these vikalpas or adhyaropitas
cannot be there without adhishthanam. So adhishthanam is pointed out as shell etc. Ushara is
desert. This is answer to bauddhas. Vastu-aspadah alone we can imagine. Anything, vikalpah, is
sad buddhi anuvrittah. Is buddhi is there in all superimpositions and that is-ness belong to rope.
Waker consciousness depend on a vastu and it is atma. So atma is not sunya being adhishthana.

Further he says. if turiya atma is adhishthanam for waker etc then it has adhara and adheya bhava
sambandha. If it is basis, then like pot is basis for water etc. it is basis for everything. sambandha
is there. Then sabda pravritti nimitta is there. Why not we say therefore that turiyam is adhara for
creation. Hetu is sambandha and that hetu is there. Prana is karya prana. All senses etc including
pranas have sat as aspada. So atma is sarvasya adharah. So why do you not say so? Why nantah
prajnam etc. Once sambandha is arrived at, every thing will also come one by one later. What are
the qualities of atma which is adhara? Then gunas will come. So you need not try to make us
understand through negative words. Adi is sugar etc. For ghata also earth is adhara. You only said
it is aspada for all vikalpas. With your owns words you get caught. No. You have not listened
properly. I said mithya vikalpa requires adhishthana. I did not say there is adhara adheya bhava
between. them. Like a pot can be described with positive words so too turiya can be, it being
adhara like ghata.

Here it is not like udakasya ghatadeh iva. Here the example is different. Saptami is adhishthanam
for mithya vastu. There in pot and water, both are having same reality. Here one is mithya.
Adheyasya asatvam. So adharatvasya also asatvam. Meaning Aropa apekshaya we say it is
adhishthanam. So one is sat and another is asat. What connection is there between them? Like
dream son getting married to a waking bride is not connected. So too between vyavakarika and
paramarthika no sambandha. Like pot in clay. What adhara and adheya between them. Is the pot
sitting on clay? Mridi is seventh case. What saptami it is?

Sambandha between sat and asat does not qualify for being sabda pravritti nimittatvam. Why?
Sambandha is avastu. The marital sambandha is false for dream marriage. So between karya

when you say, it indicates an object. It is vyashti. It reveals cowness also. You recognise jati also.

two things are identical. So samanya visesha must be there wherever jati is. You say no second
atma. I am talker now and you are listener atma. Both are different. One is nodding atma and
another is not nodding atma. No. What nods is not atma. It is anatma. Another atma is not

Atma should be sunya because words have no pravritti like horns of rabbit has no sabda pravritti
like rudhi etc. We do say rabbit’s horn but it is not there. Horns do not fight with one another.
Small horn etc no guna. Flat horn etc. So upadesa is nirarthaka. Knowing it is useless. No. If it is
not sabda vacya, it is not an object at all and even by negating you do not reach any where.
Sasavishana is for telling uselessness of knowing it. Suppose somebody says the powder of this
horn is remedy for cancer it is of no use.

If turiya is recognised as atma then all other things become mithya. Avagame is hetu. It becomes
cause for vyavritti or negation. Of what? Longing in anatma goes away. Like of the trishna for
rajata etc. on knowing suktika. Silver seen is hetu for pravritti. Sarva vishaya trishna goes
because everything else is anatma. When there is recognition of turiya as atma, avidya eva
trishna. Avidya rupa trishna. Trishna in the form of error called avidya. Trishna is raga and
dvesha. So no duhkha.

Suppose this atma has no visesha at all, then it cannot be known at all as atma. No. Meaning of
word ‘you’ is suddha caitanyam - set up is created already. So there is no reason why this
knowledge should not take place. Sastra pramanam asti. All upanishads have that alone in view.
They resolve, exhaust themselves in pointing out tuiya atma only. Now he takes one one vakya
from one one upanishad. In Sama tatvamasi - where after negation of viseshas only the tvam
pada is revealed as Brahman. The karanatvam in tat and pramatrtvam in tvam pada are negated.
Even Prajnanam Brahman appears as positive vakyas. Prajnanam is any knowledge. In
knowledge triputi is involved. So it has to be negated. Because it is svaprakasa atma, it can be
revealed by negation. Here ayamatma+ Aparoksa atma alone is Brahman, turiyam iti. In
Chandogya - tat satyam+ Sakshat means without any other pramana which shines. Aparoksha pot
requires pramana. It is bahya+ Inside and outside means no desa avacchinnam. It is not
conditioned by place and so time also. Ajah. So it is Brahman. Jiva is within the physical body
and he cannot be outside. So he is called dehi. It is pointed out as atma which is not limited to
body. At once it is inside and outside. So we have to negate jivatvam which is aropitam on atma.
Then only we can get the meaning it is bahyabhyantra. Atma is every thing - all that is here is
nothing but atma. This is possible only when you give up your dehatma buddhi. If karya karana
sanghata is atma. then you cannot say you are everything. If you are everything why you should
eat iti dvaitins will argue. He does not understand what we are talking. So atma eva idam sarvam
means negation is involved. Without giving up there is no way of seeing I am everything. Thus
keeping that in mind alone, there is exhaustion or dedication of vakyas in Upanishads. They are
dedicated at the altar of atma being Brahman. So there is no way of knowing atma iti you cannot
say. They are pramana that atma can be known.

This atma is said to be having four padas. This atma has one real or essential nature and one
incidental nature or apparent nature meaning having visishtatvam with three padas. Three are
aparamartha and one is paramartha. Of that aparaamartha rupam which is three padas is due to
ignorance. The three padas include prapanca also. It is in the place of bija and ankura. Bija is
sleep state. Other two are ankuras. How it is further? It is set up by avidya alone. So it is
aparamartha. Like rajju sarpadi samam. Equal to rope-snake etc. This pada traya is alrady
covered. Bija and ankura or karana and karya is over. Atma is karanam. So what for the fourth
pada.

Just as rope is wrongly taken as snake etc. Vikalpas are many but rope is one. So too in all the
three sates also, atma is one only. It is taken as three. How? As visva etc. Sastra has arthavat
vishaya bodhakatvam. Eyes can reveal gutter also. What use is there? As eyes are open many
things are seen. So too ears. But sastra cannot afford to reveal such kind of things because sastra
deliberately points out what is hitam. So it is meaningful. So turiya knowledge is purushartha.
Sarvatma bhava and asnagatvam - both are necessary to be known and revealed by sastram.
Pratishedha janitam vijnana samakale - at the same time when recognition takes place on negation
of viseshas there is removal of anartha prapanca. Anartha is that which is not good for you. You
want advaitam or dvaitam. All want advaitam. Not dvaitam. Aham paricchinnah is samsara. That
result is accomplished when I know turiya atma. You do not require another pramana, atma being
svaprakasa.. Sabdam such as nantah prajnam etc alone will give you phalam.
In the case of example, when he is told this is not snake, at that time when he looks at the rope, at
the same time when viveka takes place, he sees rope alone. Sarpa buddhi goes away. When that
result is there, when the perception of snake goes away, for knowing rope you do not require
another means like doing japa that it is rope.

Here there is an argument that sabda will give only indirect knowledge. Because it is sabda
janyam. (saabdam) Like svarga etc. Which gives paroksha knowledge. Then there is another
pramana apeksha, pratyaksha, is there for getting direct knowledge. You go and see. But here we
say it all depends on vishaya - whether it is in front or away. So there is a upadhi in the anumana.
If the vishaya is paroksha iti. Vishayasya parokshatve sati. Then sabdam parokshajnana janakam.
It is called logical upadhi. It makes the sentence tight. When you light up a log of wood you
cannot say there will be smoke always. It will be so if the wood is wet. That condition is called
upadhi. Sabdam aparoksham saabdatvat dasamatvamasi iitivat - we can give an inference. Atma
is prasiddha. Visva is atma. Taijasa is atma. All the three touch the other’s head like Bhasamasura.
They are all incidental attributes of atma because variable. If intrinsic I cannot shake them off.
But I do. So by knowledge born of words of negation we can have recognition of turiya atma
which is aparoksha jnanam and there is no another pramanam for this as it is not like svarga or
Caribbean island in which case you have to go and see. In fact when vishaya is pratyaksha, words
cannot give indirect knowledge.
Experience gives direct knowledge iti people say. Experience is not pramana. Sakshi vedya is
also pratyaksha means it is pratyaksha vishaya and atma becomes jadam. They talk of
prasankhyanam meaning you have to repeat turiya, turiya iti. If you have not understood when
first time it is uttered, by repeating the words we cannot know. If you understand later it is born of
upadesa only and not by repetition. You laugh for what you head before, It is not yourself
laughing which is different matter. It is called tubelight. Motor is there. It takes time to start it. So
praasankhaynam is not pramanam. They convert tavya into prasankhayanavidhi for meditation.
Thus they make it an action because it is mental action. Sravanam itself is not vidhi. It is only
vidhicchaya. It is sadhanantaram for them. Paroksha jnanam has to be converted into aparoskha
in other cases because vishaya is different from you.
Bhatta says something here. Siddhanta is that everything is superimposed on atma. Atma alone is
all this. At the same time it is not visva etc. So all of them are not real. In this situation, as a
knower, I want to know a given pot. What is it iti. Here how the knowledge takes place? There
is a caitanyam in the vritti. All impulses alone are picked up by brain and what happens in brain
later is vritti conditioned by pot. Ghata vritti avacchina caitanyam is there. What does it do? This
pot was not within my vritti. There was avaranam. Where was it? It was for pramata. When the
vritti takes place, it removes the ignorance of this particular pot. Not pot in memory. It is not
jnanam. Then pot shines in vritti. Remoteness gone, then knowledge of pot - is it the result of
removal of ignorance or something else is taking place. We say only removal of ignorance. Ghata
being a jada, the caitanyam in virtti illumines it. That is natural and no extra vyapara for it.
Bhattas say there is such a thing called vishayasya prakatyam. That means revelation of pot is a
special thing or feature in pot knowledge. Mere removal of ignorance is not enough. Seeing pot is
different vyapara. Prama karanam is pramanam meaning knowledge is produced by pramana and
so it is positive. In that case ajnanam is not bhava. Then sarvjnatva asiddhi etc varieties of
problem.
What is that prama is the question. Pramanam removes ignorance is accepted by both. Now after
removing ignorance what is vishaya prakatyam? It is vishaya vijanam. Is it a special feature? This
is pot. This knowledge where does it take place? It abides in the vritti. Then does the vritti stay
there for you to create some special feature or produce vishaya vijanam? It goes away. So how
can it produce a special feature? To create such a special feature if one vritti cannot do, many
vrittis what they are going to do? First vritti removes ignorance. Second vritti creates pot
knowledge. How does first vritti removes ignorance without pot knowledge? So pot knowledge is
arthikam. Antariyakam is not there.
We say pot knowledge is not pramana phalam. Knowledge is already there in isvara caitanyam.
That isvara caitanyam is me. There is no pramana phalam. I am not having it because of
inhibiting factor. Because of vyashti upadhi I have avaranam. That avarana has to go. So no new
knowledge is created at any time. In somebody’s head any knowledge is siddham. All do not
know means in isvara’s head it is siddham. Cid is eka. So in one caitanyam alone is everything is
there. Pramana apeksha is necessary. It removes ignorance.
What is the advantage of this? If I create knowledge, then before jnanam was not there. New
knowledge is created. Then abhava of jnanam is what? Is it abhava or not? If it is total abhava,
then such a thing as knowledge is created destroying bhava. Then the abhava cannot cause any
kind of adhyasa being svayam abhavat. Vandhya putra cannot be cause or locus for committing
any mistake. You cannot take him for pillar. Abhava cannot create anything. Ajnanam has some
bhava. It is anivacaniya bhava. It is vritti jnana patiyogi. This kind of avaranam is not there in
isvara. So he is called sarvajna. One who has vritti jnana praityogi is jiva and alpajnah. So one
can commit mistake that I am visva. Vritti jnanam is one category of reality. Avaranam also
belongs to same category. So vritti jnanam will destroy avaranam. Again, if jnanam is born,
Janyam jnanam kritatvat anityam, because yat krtam tad anityam. Jnanam na kritam siddhatvat
atmavat. Virtti jnanam having removed ignorance it also goes away. It does not stay there. So
tamo nivrtti is pramana phalam. So atma jnana vritti need not be maintained.
Vsstu - is it to be retained or vritti is to be retained? Vastu need not be rationed as it is yourself.
Vritti cannot be retained. Can you keep this split second going? As you say, it is gone. I have to
maintain vritti because one vritti does not remove ignorance. Then If one vritti does not remove
ignorance how many vrittis are required? You require only seeing vritti which is only one.

Bhashyakara says if you say another vyapara is required for revelation of pot, it is equivalent to
saying cutting has to be followed by another action for splitting the wood. Samyoga viyoga we
have to do. For that cutting is to be done. Vettu onnu and tundu irandu. Separating into two is not
another action. Vyatirekena is other than. Vibhaga is not another atisaya introduced later after
cutting the branch. If vibhaga is later, then you sit on the branch and cut. He has studied bhatta.
Can he do? Making into is called cutting. So too.
The pot is covered by avaranam. Pramanam is busy now and engaged in separating pot from
avaranam. Meaning pot is to be known. Here prameya is pot. It is upaditsitam. Tamas is opposite.
Its removal is phalam for pramanam. Avasanam is end. It is like cutting. It is meant to separate
the avayavas. That vyapara of cutting comes to an end after accomplishing the job of separating.
No other action is necessary for separating. Pot knowledge has no antariya. Antare bhavam. That
which obtains in between. gahvadibhyah+ iti sutram. Taddhita. In between there is no other factor
or intervention. Pot knowledge has nothing in between. Pot knowledge is also not pramana
phalam. In phalavyapti also not two actions.

Even as it was pointed out in pot knowledge where tamas has to go away, similarly taijasatvadi
are superimposed on atma and pramana (pratishedharupa) is engaged in separating visva etc from
turiya. A pramana that produces knowledge by negating all that is superimposed on atma. How it
is superimposed? Because they are negated. Of that pramana, what is not desired to take, other
than negating that, it has no other further engagement. So what happens? If you say pramana
brings about atisaya to vastu in revealing it, then that second vyaparah is for pramata. But that
pramata is himself not there after negation which is the result of first pramana vyapara. No
dvaitam after negation of ignorance. Sushke neere kah kasarah like that. Jnate tattve kah

It is not like that. Paramarthika dvaitam na vidyate.

If you say that for atisaya jananartham, further pramana pravritti is necessary. Jnanam ajnana
nivartakam. That jnanam is vrittyatmakam. Because it is born of pramana. This vrttyatmakam
jnanam after negation of ajnanam, if it has to rveal vastu, then it must stay. It is like you
appointing a gunda (hussler) to remove a tenant. Now you have to remove him. You appoint
gugunda. So no end. To eliminate that vritti you require another vritti. Nivartakam becomes
nivartya. So nivritti of dvaitam does not take place. Kshanam does not imply time here. Vritti
jnanam when it negates dvaitam, it does not remain next kshanam to create atisaya to object. If it
remains it is gunda. It will not go away. Let it not. Then I will say (you) go away.

sruti can say you are not that and nivritti possible. Phalam also stand said. So nantah prajnam etc
are important. When you are exposed to this pramana, this nivrtti of anartha takes place.

Om is a word and so it is pada vicara. Padartha vicara we had. Idea is we will arrive at the same
truth through either of the vicaras. Atma is padartha.If Atma is a whole, Om also is a whole. If
atma has four padas, Om also has four matras. Padas are matras. Which pada is which matra? It is
not random choice. There is some reasoning. So first pada is first matra.

In the 9th mantra first pada is taken. First is waking. These are names of consciousness. It is akara.
Kara is a suffix. The sound ‘a’. kara is like inverted comma. Why ‘a’ is vaisvanara? Aptih and
Adimatvam. Vaisvanara has these two qualities. Letter ‘a’ also has them.
Aptih means pervasiveness. Viasvanara is caitanyam associated with waking state. For waking
state expereince I should have abhimanam with which body? With sthula body. It is poossible
only through sukshma and karana sarirams. So there is abhimana with all three bodies. If only
sthula sariram, you cannot listen. Listening is done thorugh sense organs and mind which belong
to sukshma sariram. In svapnam it is sukshma sariram plus karana sarirams. In sleep only
karana+. So vaisvanara is all pervasive. So aptimat. Vaisvanara includes visva. Similarly akara
has also got pervasion. Sastra says and it is logical that akara is the basic sound which later
becomes all other sounds. When you open mouth and make a sound without effort, it is ‘a’. All
other letters are modification of this letter. Akaro vai sarva vak. So akara is karanam an all other
sounds are karyam. Karanam pervades all karyams.
Second samanya gunam is adimatvam. Both are first. Vaisvanara is the first pada we take for
analysis. From there we go to second and third padas. Step by step. So first step to reach turiyam
is vasvanara. ‘First’ is not in srishti krama. Sadhana krame - first. Karyam is resolved in karanam
in apavada. In that visva is first. He is resolve din taijasa. So too akara has adimatvam. Akara is
first letter.
The next step is to go to next matra and next pada. First is resolved in second. Akara in ukara and
viasvanara in HG. And so on. Many people will not be able to do this resoluiton. For them,
upasanam is prescribed. Take akara and maditate upon Visvaanra on that letter. Akara pradhana
omkara is taken. Akara which is part of Omkara and not any akara. This is virat upasanam.
Phalam is mentioned. So we have to supply upasanam. Yah evam veda is also indication of it. He
attains all the kamas, desirable objects. He pervades all of them meaning he enjoys all pleasures.
He will become number one in any field. he will become leader. Yatha upaste tatha bhavati.
Nishkama upasaka - jnana is phalam

A to amatra when he travels he will be travelling parallelly from Virat to tuiryam. Travelling in
pada and padartha - makara is third matra - it is prajna and Isvara. Upanishad reminds of
definition given in mantra 5. Sushuptasthanah - caitanyam obtaining in sleep state. Samanyam
here also two.
Mitih and apitih - apitih alone not tallies with rule of not beginnng with m. Apitih means pralaya
sthanam. Place where a thing dissolves. It can be seen both for. In sleep one is in karana sairam. It
is the place all karyams resolve. Prajna in which all karyams resolve in sleep. In pralayam also in
karana prapanca all resolve. So prajna and isvara are saem. One is karana sariram and another
karana -prapanca So pralaya sthanam. Our daily experience - so apitih. Apee means to dissolve.
Apitih is dissolution ground. Apyeti asmin iti. Same samanya guna is there in makara also.
Makara is resolving palce for all letters of alphabets. The entire pada-prapanca. Paada is for
padartha prapanca.
Mitih - A measure. Any measuring vessel is called mitih. Meeyate anaya iti. Alavu patram. Highly
imaginative samanyam. Suppose someone wants to measure rice. In villages they use to measure
in litre. He will up and pour out. Rice disappears into the measure. You see rice appears in the
other side. Measure is a thing in which things disappear from onesdie and appear on the other
side. Prajna is like a measure. In the night, lot of experiences during the day and all of them
disappear into prajna. Hateful and loving - all of them. Not permanently gone. It appears again in
the morning. Previous day disappears in prajna and appears as next day. Prajna is therefore a
measure. So too in pralaya prapanca disappears in him and next kalpa comes out. In makara also
it is there. When you close the mouth all varnas disappear. When you open the mouth they all
come out again. So it is also mitih.
Now upasana phalam - isvara upasana upon makara pradhana om. Phalam is in keeping with
upasana. Mitih. So he will become a good measurer. Measures what? Figurative sesen. He
measures eveyone. He knows who is good, who is intellgent etc. He knows everything properly.
Apitih - He will get aikyam with Isvarah. Prakriti layam. It is not permanent one. Only through
jnanam. In the rest of the creation he will not have punarjanma. He will come back only in next
srishti.

Acarya gives his idea on the mantras. The three matras are stepping stone and fourth matra is
destination. Like three padas are adhyaropa and fourth is apavada. Three are known and so those
vakyams are anuvada vkayam. Fourth pada is pramana vakyam. Here also, three matras are
anuvadas. In the fourth matra alone unknown reality is revealed. Preparations over. Acarya gives
some rest - coffee break from mantra.
No new ideas in karikas but summarising Upanishad mantras. Karika 19 is summary of mantra 9.
karika 20 - mantra 10 and karika 21 is mantra 11.
Matra sampratipattau - when you are equating jodi sekkaratu - equating matras and padas and
consequently, visvasya - when akara a is equated with visva, atva is letter a. Acarya says two
ideas come to your mind. Adi samanyam and apti samanyam ca utkatam bhavati. These two
common properties sphurati. Become evident when you connect a and visva. Comes to mind or
memory.
Similarly taijasatva+ when you are equating matras and padas, taijasya + when taijasa the second
pada is equated with letter u, then what happens? Two common properties are remembered. They
are utkarsha and ubhayatvam. Sphutam means clearly come to memory.
Similarly, mantra are paraphrased. Only thing here is acarya does not use the upanishadic word.
Earlier he used the same words. Here he is translating miti and apeetih with a different word.
Mitih is manam. Bhashyakara took this word in his bhashya. Manam is measure and not honour.
Apeetih is layah. This also bhashyakara takes. When we are equating matras and padas and
consequently when we connect the 3rd matra and 3rd pada two common properties are reminded.
Measure and layasthanam.
In the following karika he talks of the phalam of this knowledge. This is his contribution. One
will go to turiyam if one understands these three mantras. Trishu+ One who knows the samanyam
or common gunas in all the three stages, tulyam is equal number of common properties, that is,
two two. How? niscitah+ Very clearly knows. He is mahamunih. A great sage he becomes. Jnani
ityarthah. After he gains jnanam of turiyam. If one has successfully gone through these three, he
will definitely become turiya jnani. He will also become most honourable one. He deserves
salutation.
One more topic is left out. That is upasana and phalam. That he does in the next karika. Akaro+
Akara of Omkara Leads. Whom? Upasakam. To visvah. Upasana is upon akara. Of visva, who
includes vaisvanara. He has done vaisvanara upasana. For this phalam is vaisvanara praptih.
Upanishad uses the word visvam. We need not got visva and we are already visva. So visva must
be understood as vaisvanarah. When? if upasana is done. So too rest of matras. If you keep saying
like that one will conclude amatra upasana will lead to something. No. There is neither upasnaa
nor gatih in amatra. He is liberated right now. Bheda is not there as upasya and upasaka as it is
avyavahrayam

Now we have to negate all the three matras like we did in padas. Apavada prakaranam. Amatra is
not akara. A means negation. That which does not have any matra. Any measurement or any
letter. Na vidyate matra yasya sah. Letter-less matra distinct from the other three. So it is silence.
No sound here. When I say silence, it is both verbal and mental. When you utter a word, word is
uttering in two places - vag level and mind level. Mind has akara vritti corresponding to sound.
In 17th chapter - mounam at mental level also lord talks. Mentally we are always chatterbox.
Talking to different people. Silence which precedes a and follows m is amatra and caturthah.
Avyavaharyah - beyond all vyavahara. Vyavahara requires langauge and in silence no vyavahra is
possible. Divisions are necessary like karta etc. In silence no division. You keep silence you can
avoid fights.
Prapncopasama - entire pada prapanca is resolved in silence. Letter a is representatvie of all
sounds of waking world. Like vaisvanara includes padartha prapanca. Pada and padartha
correspond to each other. Mike is pada and this is padartha. Both are endless. All padarthas are
vaivaanra put together. A symbol for padaprapanca is a. Akaro vai sarva vag we saw. At subtle
level - all padarthas are HG. All padas represented by u. In sleep, padartha prapanca is it there or
not? Is it for expereince or existence? For experience it is not there. For existence it is there.
Karana prapanca it is called. That samashti is isvara. Pada prapanca corresponding to it is letter
m. In turiyam prapancopasama is that where padartha prpanca is resolved. Here pada prapanca is
resolved. Bindu - karana pada prapanca nada - suksham pada prapanca - kala - stula pada
prapanca. Guru is turiyam.
So Sivah. Mangalasvarupah. All said in 7th mantra we have to take here. Advaitah - how many
types of sounds are there? Infintie. Sound is always dvaitam. Each is different from the other in
all respects. How many types of silence? You talk Telugu. I talk Sanskrit - both stop. How many
silence? Telugu silence? Sound alone difference. Sound is sagunam. Silence is nirgunam. Sound
has beginning and end. Finite. Sadvayam. Evam Omkara is completely equal to atma. Three
matras and three padas - sagunam. Amatra is nirgunam and fourth pada is nirgunam. Saguna at
three level sthuladi. Om also saguna at three levels. Three adhyaropa and one apavada, as
prapancopasama. Three are mithya. Fourth pada is satyam and fourth matra is satyam. By atma
vicara or om vicara we can arrive at same nirgunam satyam.
Some enquiry we have to make. Amatra is silence. What we mean by silence? Normally silence is
oral or mental. When you keep quiet there is oral silence. When you do not have thoughts there is
mental silence. Is this turiyam? No. It is relative. Meaning, opposed to something else. Opposed
to sound. One is other is not. Both cannot be there together. Yoga is finding relative silence by
citta vritti nirodha. It cannot be advaitam. It comes and goes. You will be in trouble if you depend
on this. Secondly, silence is absence of sound. Is it bhava or abhava? Is it postive or negative
entity. How can abhava be truth?
Why does Upanishad say amatra is caturthah, santah advaitah etc. It means different by the word
silence. We should not take vacyartha but lakshyartha. What is that meaning. In silence you say
there is no sound. Imagine you are sitting quietly in your room closing your eyes. and you have
removed all sounds and uttering OM. After OM. Now silence. What is there? You say silecne?
What do you mean by silence? There is no sound and thought. Silence means a blank state. Orally
and mentally blank. That is silence. But Vedanta says : Is it merely a blank sate of silence of all
sounds and thoughts. Yes. Nothing is there. How do you know there is no sound? I know that
there is no sound. Come to my way. I recognise, I am aware of absence of sound and absence of
thoughts. In silence words are not there and thoughts are also not there but something else is
present. What is it? I, the caitanyam. Silence means by implication the caitanyam. It is the
illuminator of absence of sounds and thoughts. Sabda-vritti abhava upalakshitam sakshi
caitanyam. Amatra is sabdavritti abhava sakshi rupam.
This Silence awareness is it relative or absolute? The other silence will come when the sound
goes. It will go when the sound comes. Silence awarness will be there whether sound comes or
whether sound goes. It illumines the presence of sound as well as absence of sound. This has no
beginning or end. Relative silence is affected by realtive sound. Absolute silence is never affected
by relative sound. So it is satyam. So relative sound and silence - both are mithya superimposed
on absolute silence. For moksha you cannot depend on relative silence. Yogi depends on it. Jnani
is dependent on absolute silence. Adhyastasya gunena doshena va anumatrena api na
sambadhyate.
This absolute silence itself is turiyam. It is not a word representing turiyam. Silence is awareness
and not quietude. Akara is visvanara means not identical but one represents the other. Word sugar
is not padartha sugar. You write it and put in coffee and utter it and drink coffee. Or photo and
person. So no total aikyam. Amatra does not represent tturiyam and it is turiyam. It is silence
awareness. So omkara dhyanam lead to same truth. Fourth matra and pada merge into one.
Amatra is awareness and not reveal awareness. Pada padartha aikyam is there.
Om and atma are identical or different? From which standpont, you have to ask? From the first
three matras not. From amatra standpoint identical. So om has vacyartham and lakshyartham.
Atma also. a u m of Om is vacyartham. Three padas are vacyartham. Lakshyartha is silence in
both. Vacyartha drshtya om is pada and atma is padartha. and om represents atma. Lakshyartha
drshtya both are padartha. So om is all pervading reality. First mantra of this upanishad is what?
Om is everything. That statement can be understood here from the standpoint of lakshyartha of
Om. As vacyartha, Om sound has limitation. It cannot be all pervading. It is like tattvamasi. You
as vacyartha is contradicted. You as lakshyaratha is not. 1st mantra understood here and 2nd mantra
in 7th mantra.
One more point. Amatra is silence. It is two fold. Relative and absolute. Relative is displaced.
Agamapayi. Absolute is always there. It is witness of both sound and silence, why should you
name it absolute silence. Why not call it absolute sound? We can call it so because witness of
sound. We will see this. A person can recognise awareness easily and clearly in silence more than
in sound. Why? In silence no distraction. In sound it is. When there are lot of thoughts in mind,
awareness is there. Doing what job? Doing illuminating job. But our attention is more on
thoughts rather than on awareness. Belvoed thought - there is no nantah prajnam. Because son
thought distracts my mind. When no thought - no distraction and so awareness is absolute silence.
First awareness is recognised as sakshi of silence. Thereafter sakshi of thought and noice also.
Prakasam ca pravrittim ca moham eva+ Let it be any type of thought. It is like recognising screen
of movie. When film is going on, movie screen is there. Lot of attractions are there. During
interval no attraction. So you first recognise the screen during interval when no activity. So atma
is called silence.
Phala-sruti follows. Yah evam veda - One who know shis fact that silence awareness is amatra
turiyam adhishthanam of pada and padartha prapanca. He enters himself That is he recognises his
identity with himself. The self that is turiya. By himself. Means because of his very nature.
Atmana. In previous three matras yah evam veda came. It meant upasana. Here it is jnanam.
Aparokshataya janati. He attains turiyam.
