Brahmopadeśa: Ahiṃsā, Jñāna, and the Kṣetrajña–Sattva Analysis

Chapter 49

मन्यन्ते ब्राह्मणा एव ब्रद्वाज्ञास्तत्त्वदर्शिन: । एकमेके पृथक्‌ चान्ये बहुत्वमिति चापरे,वेद-शास्त्रोंके ज्ञाता तत्त्वदर्शी ब्राह्मण लोग यह मानते हैं कि एक ब्रह्म ही है। अन्य कितने ही कहते हैं कि जीव और ईश्वर अलग-अलग हैं और दूसरे लोग सबकी सत्ता भिन्न और बहुत प्रकारसे मानते हैं

manyante brāhmaṇā eva brahmavādinas tattvadarśinaḥ | ekam eke pṛthak cānye bahutvam iti cāpare ||

Vāyu said: “The truth-seeing Brahmins, learned in the Veda and the śāstras, hold differing views. Some affirm that Reality is one—Brahman alone. Others maintain a distinction, saying the individual self and the Lord are separate. Still others assert plurality, that beings and principles are many and mutually distinct.”
