Śaṅkaraon Brahma Sūtra 4.3.12
Advaita Vedānta
Sūtra
परं जैमिनिर्मुख्यत्वात्
paraṃ jaiminirmukhyatvāt
Sūtra translation
To the highest (Brahman) (the souls are led) 6^aimini (opines) ; owing to this being the principal sense (of the word ^ Brahman ’).
The teacher G'aimini is of opinion that the passage, ‘ He leads them to Brahman,’ refers to the highest Brahman. For the highest Brahman constitutes the principal, primary sense, of the word ‘ Brahman,’ which denotes the lower Brahman only in a secondary, metaphorical way. And where both senses are possible, the primary sense has to be preferred.
