Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 3.4.20

The text, “ In whatever way he may be (proceeding) (Bri. V. 5.1.), etc.,” may be considered an injunction. Just as the study of the Vedas is laid down for the three classes, so acting according to their own will is a rule meant only for the wise; therein nothing unrighteous is to be suspected ; and this permission or rule does not apply to others. Such is the alternative conveyed by the particle ‘ Or/ (All this is said) in the Brâhma : “ The rule of acting according to one's own will is laid down by Scripture only in the case of Brahmâ, (i.e., Brahma and some other wise souls). And (the righ- teous disposition of) his will is never to be doubted, for he has the direct command of Vishnu; and such freedom of action is by no means permitted in the case of others.”
