20. On account of connexion, thus elsewhere also.

In the Brihad-âranyaka (V, 5) it is said that Brahman is to be meditated

upon as abiding within the orb of the sun and within the right eye; and

then the text mentions two secret names of Brahman--_aham_ and _ahar_.

Here the Pûrvapakshin holds that both these names are to be comprehended

in each of the two meditations 'On account of connexion,' i.e. on

account of the object of meditation, i.e. Brahman being one only,

although connected with different abodes, it is 'thus elsewhere also,' i.

e. the same conclusion which had been arrived at in the case of the

Sândilya-vidyâs, has to be accepted with regard to Brahman abiding in

the sun and in the eye. The meditation is one only, and hence the two

secret names apply to Brahman in both its abodes.--This view the next

Sûtra negatives.
