sth膩nyupamantrane..." The available text on the s奴tra is different
from that of PYSBV. Vivara峁嘺k膩ra prefers to say 'sarvameva
du岣ham vivekina岣�' instead of 'du岣hameva sarvam

Anyhow, Vivara峁嘺k膩ra has followed the order in
the right way at the beginning of PYSBV of the above s奴tra.
When concludes it is quoted as 'sarvameva du岣ham vivekinah',
16 which seems to be more appropriate to the context. In PYSBV,
at many places the order of words in VBh. is different from that
used by T.V. and Y.V.'7
Language and style of Vivara峁嘺k膩ra
In a number of places Vivara峁嘺k膩ra merely repeats
18 the long passages from VBh., without adding anything.
Similarly, some of the verses in VBh. are also quoted by the
author without interpretation." Vivara峁嘺k膩ra has his own point of
20 view and says nothing only for the sake of commenting. In some
places, Vivara峁嘺k膩ra deviates from other commentators' such as
V膩caspati Mi艣ra. For example, in the context of eight limbs of
Yoga, Vivara峁嘺k膩ra seems to protest the view of V膩caspati Mi艣ra,
who emphasises the practice of yog盲ngas to attain vivekakhy膩ti."鹿
