Dvaita Vedānta
Sūtra
पारिप्लवार्था इति चेन्न विशेषितत्वात्
pāriplavārthā iti cenna viśeṣitatvāt
Sūtra translation
If it be said that from the above views the texts become unsettled as to their meaning, ice say ‘no’ ; for (the wise) are (of) specified (classes).
It may seem that the texts such as “ In whatever manner, etc.,” cease to have a settled meaning (on ac- count of the various views expressed above). But it is not the case; for in the Gaupavana Sruti the wise are specified or classified thus: “ Of three classes indeed are the wise • those that are bound by injunctions, those that are not and those that are guided by their own will. Those that are governed by injunctions are men ; those that are not are the gods: and Brahma only is the one that is guided by his own will. t t X
