संपत्तेरिति जैमिनिस्तथाहि दर्शयति

saṃpatteriti jaiministathāhi darśayati

Sūtra translation

Jaimini (explains it) also on the ground of (the de- votees) attaining to Agni, etc.); for so says the sruti

Jaimini who sees no contradiction even when the words directly denote Brahman, also opines that the dis- tinction among the suktas may be explained on the ground that the devotees reach Agni (and the Bhahman through Agni, etc.). The sruti which supports Jaimini’s view is: ‘‘In whatever form the votary contemplates Him, he attains to the very same form.” It is not indeed right to hold that the votary contem- plating one attains to another (t. e.t contemplating Brah- man attains to Agni). To solve this difficulty the Sutra proceeds.
