aniyamaḥ sarveṣāmavirodhācchabdānumānābhyāṃ

Sūtra translation

There is no restriction or exception to the (release) of ad (that have directly seen the Lord), on account of there being nothing (said) against it, and on account of (the authority oj) the Word and inference.

It should not be supposed that even of those that have attained the direct perception of the Lord, some obtain release and some do not, as in the matter of compre- hending the qualities of Brahman j for though there is a restriction with regard to the comprehension of the attri- butes for the purpose of contemplation, as in the text, “ All the qualities are to be contemplated by Brahma only but not by the other gods even; much less by men ’’; there is no such prohibition or restriction as to release (Moksha). This may be seen from the Kaundinya Sruti, “ No one that has known Brahman is subject to the experiences of life in this world (Samsara); he certainly becomes, released (casting off Samsara). Hence they call Him the end of Samsara.”
