evamapyupanyāsātpūrvabhāvādavirodhaṃ bādarāyaṇaḥ
Sūtra translation
Thus also, on account of the existence of the former (qualities), (admitted) owing to reference and so on, there is absence of contradiction, (as) Badara- ya/^a (thinks).
Thus also, i. e. although it be admitted that intelligence only constitutes the true nature of the Self, also the former nature, i.e. lordly power like that of Brahman, which is intimated by reference and the rest, is—with a view to the world of appearances—not rejected ; and hence there is no contradiction. This is the opinion of the teacher Badarcl- ya;/a.
