II ADHYAYA, 3 PÂDA, 52.

yet the separation of the spheres of enjoyment is not impossible since the places of Brahman which are connected with the upâdhis are distinct. This the Sutra negatives on the ground that, as the upâdhis move here and there and hence all places enter into connexion with all upâdhis, the mixing up of spheres of enjoyment cannot be avoided. And even if the upâdhis were connected with different places, the pain connected with some particular place would affect the whole of Brahman which is one only. The two Sutras II, 3, 32 and 37 have stated an objection against those who, without taking their stand on the Veda, held the view of an all-pervading soul. The Sûtras II, 3, 50 and ff., on the other hand, combat the view of those who, while basing their doctrine on the Veda, teach the absolute unity of the Self.-Here terminates the adhikarana of 'the part.'
