[Advaita-l] [advaitin] BrihadAraNyaka 4.3.19 and Aitareya 1.3.12

[V Subrahmanian]

Dear Sudhanshu Ji,

In this Gita Bhashyam Shankara gives the hetu jneyatvaat to determine
something as kshetram, aka prakruti. This is not different from the hetu
drishyatvaat. Anything that is object to the saakshi is kshetram, the whole
of which has been determined in the last verse of this chapter to be
mithya, abhavagamanam.

This is a very eminent DSV statement from the Bhashyakaara.

Regards
subbu

………पुनः तज्जातीयमुपलभमानः तमादातुमिच्छति सुखहेतुरिति ; सा इयं इच्छा
अन्तःकरणधर्मः ज्ञेयत्वात् क्षेत्रम् । तथा द्वेषः, यज्जातीयमर्थं
दुःखहेतुत्वेन अनुभूतवान् , पुनः तज्जातीयमर्थमुपलभमानः तं द्वेष्टि ; सोऽयं
द्वेषः ज्ञेयत्वात् क्षेत्रमेव । तथा सुखम् अनुकूलं प्रसन्नसत्त्वात्मकं
ज्ञेयत्वात् क्षेत्रमेव । दुःखं प्रतिकूलात्मकम् ; ज्ञेयत्वात् तदपि क्षेत्रम्
। सङ्घातः देहेन्द्रियाणां संहतिः । तस्यामभिव्यक्तान्तःकरणवृत्तिः, तप्त इव
लोहपिण्डे अग्निः आत्मचैतन्याभासरसविद्धा चेतना ; सा च क्षेत्रं ज्ञेयत्वात् ।
धृतिः यया अवसादप्राप्तानि देहेन्द्रियाणि ध्रियन्ते ; सा च ज्ञेयत्वात्
क्षेत्रम् । सर्वान्तःकरणधर्मोपलक्षणार्थम् इच्छादिग्रहणम् ।
