ज्ञाता सन्नयमात्मा कर्मसु कर्ता च । आत्मनोऽकर्तृत्वे ' कुर्यात्, न कुर्यात् ' इति शास्त्रानर्थक्यं स्यात् ॥
उपादानाद्विहारोपदेशाच्च ॥ ३४ ॥
' प्राणान् गृहीत्वा स्वे शरीरे यथाकामं परिवर्तते ' इत्युपादान विहारोपदे'शाच्च कर्ता ॥
व्यपदेशाच्च क्रियायाम्; न चेन्निर्देशविपर्ययः ॥ ३५ ॥
Besides being the knower, the self is also the doer of actions. If the self is not the doer the scriptures enjoining 'one should do this or should not do this ' will become meaningless.
34. Upapadanadviharopadesacca
On account of the declaration of his taking and moving about.
' The self taking with him the senses, moves around in his own body, according to his will and pleasure ' (Brh. II-1-18). This text teaches that the self is active in taking the senses and in moving. Therefore he is the doer.
35. Vyapadesacca kriyayam; nacennirdesa- viparyayah
And on account of the designation of the self as the doer of actions. If not so, the word would have been used in different way.
