The sages gathered to discuss the profound truths of the scriptures, each offering their insight into the nature of reality and the teachings that guide seekers. Jaimini began, asserting that even when understanding is direct, there is no contradiction—truth remains consistent. Āśmarathya added that this is because the ultimate reality becomes manifest, revealing itself to those who seek. Bādari spoke next, explaining that recollection—memory of the teachings—also supports this harmony. Jaimini returned, saying that attainment itself proves the point, for the scriptures show that realization comes to those who follow the path. The sages agreed, for they declare the Supreme in this very context. Turning to the abode of heaven and earth, the assembly recognized it by its unique designation. They noted that the liberated souls are said to approach this abode, further confirming its special status. It cannot merely be inferred, they agreed, because the term used is not applicable to anything else, and it is described as the supporter of all life. The distinction is clear, as the scriptures designate a difference, and the context supports this understanding. Subsistence and eating are also mentioned, pointing to the sustaining aspect of the Supreme. Bhūman, the vast and infinite, is taught as identical with the serene—peace and fullness are one in the Supreme. Righteousness supports this teaching, for the scriptures align with dharma. The imperishable is spoken of, for it upholds the entire expanse, even up to the sky, and this is so because it commands all. Otherness is excluded; nothing else shares this unique nature. The designation of seeing and acting marks it as He—the Supreme, who perceives and initiates. The subtle one is revealed in subsequent texts, and the words 'going' and 'speech' are signs of its presence. Support is again mentioned, for the greatness of the Supreme is perceived in these passages, and its nature is well-known among those who study. If someone argues that there is reference to another, the sages clarify that such a view is not possible. When the true nature is manifested, it is clear and unmistakable. Sometimes, references serve other purposes, not to indicate a different entity. If it is said that there is little mention, that point has already been explained and resolved. Imitation is seen, and that too is part of the teaching. Moreover, remembrance of these truths persists. The word alone is sufficient to ascertain the meaning, for it carries authority. When the heart is referenced, it is because eligibility belongs to humans—the teachings are meant for those who seek. Even beyond this, Bādarāyaṇa affirms that it is possible to attain higher states. If someone argues that there is contradiction with action, the sages reply that this is not so, for various applications are observed in the scriptures. If it is claimed that it is mere sound, this is refuted, because the origin of the teaching is established both by direct perception and inference. Therefore, the truth is eternal. Even when names and forms are repeated, there is no contradiction, for sameness is observed and remembered. Jaimini holds that in cases like honey, eligibility does not apply, because it is impossible. Yet, existence is affirmed in the Jyotis sacrifice, and Bādarāyaṇa maintains that existence is indeed there. Disregard and melting of the sugar are heard in the texts, and because it melts, the indication is clear. The status of Kṣatriya is also attained, as described. Later, Citraratha provides further indication, confirming the teachings. Thus, the sages weave together their insights, illuminating the path for those who seek the Supreme, showing that the teachings are harmonious, profound, and eternal.
