5. On account of the difference of words.

That which possesses the attributes of consisting of mind, and so on,

cannot be the individual soul, for that reason also that there is a

difference of words.

That is to say, we meet with another scriptural passage of kindred

subject-matter (/S/at. Brâ. X, 6, 3, 2), 'Like a rice grain, or a barley

grain, or a canary seed or the kernel of a canary seed, thus that golden

person is in the Self.' There one word, i.e. the locative 'in the Self,'

denotes the embodied Self, and a different word, viz. the nominative

'person,' denotes the Self distinguished by the qualities of consisting

of mind, &c. We therefrom conclude that the two are different.
