नाविशेषात्
Because there is no difference.
स्तुतये ऽनुमतिर्वा
For praise or perhaps permission.
कामकारेण चैके
And also, according to some, at one's own will.
उपमर्दं च
And also, suppression.
ऊर्ध्वरेतस्सु च शब्दे हि
And in the case of those with upward-flowing energy, indeed, there is scriptural mention.
परामर्शं जैमिनिरचोदनाच्चापवदति हि
Jaimini denies contact, because there is no injunction.
अनुष्ठेयं बादरायणस्साम्यश्रुतेः
Bādarāyaṇa holds that it should be performed, because the scriptural statement is similar.
विधिर् वा धारणवत्
Or, there is an injunction, as in the case of retention.
स्तुतिमात्रम् उपादानाद् इति चेन् नापूर्वत्वात्
If it is said to be mere praise because of its inclusion, not so, because it is unprecedented.
भावशब्दाच् च
And also, because of the word indicating existence.
पारिप्लवार्था इति चेन् न विशेषितत्वात्
If it is said that the meaning is interspersed, not so, because it is specified.
तथा चैकवाक्योपबन्धात्
And so, because of the connection in a single sentence.
अत एव चाग्नीन्धनाद्यनपेक्षा
Therefore, there is no dependence on fire, fuel, and the like.
सर्वापेक्षा च यज्ञादिश्रुतेर् अश्ववत्
But there is dependence on all, as is declared in the case of sacrifice, like the horse.
शमदमाद्युपेतस् स्यात् तथापि तु तद्विधेस् तदङ्गतया तेषाम् अप्य् अवश्यानुष्ठेयत्वात्
One should be endowed with tranquility, self-control, and the like; still, because these are prescribed as auxiliaries, they too must necessarily be performed.
सर्वान् नानुमतिश् च प्राणात्यये तद्दर्शनात्
There is no permission for all, except in the case of danger to life, as is seen.
अबाधाच् च
And because there is no prohibition.
अपि स्मर्यते
Moreover, it is remembered in tradition.
शब्दश् चातो ऽकामकारे
And also, there is scriptural authority for action not prompted by desire.
विहितत्वाच् चाऽश्रमकर्मापि
And because it is enjoined, even the duties of the stages of life.
सहकारित्वेन च
And also because of cooperation.
सर्वथापि त एवोभयलिङ्गात्
In every way, indeed, those alone, because of indications on both sides.
अनभिभवं च दर्शयति
And it shows non-overpowering.
अन्तरा चापि तु तद्दृष्टेः
But also, in the interval, because that is seen.
अपि स्मर्यते
Moreover, it is remembered.
विशेषानुग्रहश् च
And there is a special favor.
अतस् त्व् इतरज्ज्यायो लिङ्गाच् च
Therefore, the other is superior, because of the mark.
तद्भूतस्य तु नातद्भावो जैमिनेर् अपि नियमात् तद्रूपाभावेभ्यः
But for one who has become that, there is no non-being of that; so also Jaimini, because of the rule, and because of the absence of that form.
न चाधिकारिकम् अपि पतनानुमानात् तदयोगात्
Nor even for one qualified, because of the inference of falling, since that is not applicable.
उपपूर्वम् अपीत्य् एके भावमशनवत् तद् उक्तम्
Some say, 'even with what has gone before,' as in the case of eating, as has been stated.
