35. Tathanyapratisedhat
And on account of anything else being denied in this context.
Except Him there is no other Highest Person, because there is the denial of a highest person other than Him in the scriptural text, 'Except whom there is nothing highest and except whom there is nothing smallest or largest' (S'vet. III-9-7). But there is another text, 'Tato yaduttarataram' (S'vet.III-10-7). The meaning of this text is this-There is none Higest except the Purusatattva (the Reality of the Supreme Person). Therefore the same Reality that is referred to in the beginning of the context, is described in the concluding portion of the context thus' He is without form and without evil. Those, who know Him, become Immortal. The others suffer pain t (S'vet. III-10). Thus has been concluded with reason, The proposition that was made in the beginning is this, 'Having known Him thus, the self reaches something beyond death. There is no other path' (S'vet. III-8). Otherwise there will be contradiction to what is stated in the beginning.
