smRty avakAza doSa-prasanga iti cet na anya smRty anavakAza-doSaprasanAt ||2|1|1||

Kapila philosophy; no sky, applicative want, redundancy, non-room; fault; result; thus, if; not other; smRti-PurANas; spaceless; due to result

137) If it b objected that Kapila SmRti will find no scope under VedAnta interpretation, we say no:

For under it there would result fault of want scope for ther SmRtis (such as Manu's).

note: for 2.1.2, after sandhi separation, it's itareSAm not itareSAn

===========

etena yogaH praty uktaH

by this (SAnkhya SmRti refutation); yoga doctrine as to creation; against spoken = has been refuted

139) On similar grounds, by above SAnkhya refutation, Yoga-smRti is also understood to have been refuted.

na vilaxaNatvAd asya tathA tvac ca zabdAt

not from character difference; of that, of Veda; suchness, eternity, authority; and from Word, from Scripture

140) Veda is not unauthoritative (as Sankhya &c.) due to its having distinct features altogether, and because its forever is established from WORD.

dRzyate tu

is seen (passive voice); from subtle to gross, not vice-versa = dialectic materialism -> where many including Huey Newton went/go wrong

But/only it is seen (something totally differing from another may give rise to, be material cause of that thing/result.

asad iti cet, na, pratiSedha mAtratvAt

nothing, non-existing, absolute zero; thus if not; denial,prohibition; because, merely

143) If it b objected: (This Material) World is then positively unreal, we say no, for in previous SUtra there was merely denial/negation of sameness of nature betwixt cause & effect, NOT that 2 substantially differ.

Obviously sans previous bonafide vaiSNav acarya's assistance no one can properly understand VedAnta.

apitau tadvat prasangAd asamanjasam

at pralaya time (universal dissolution - re-absorption); like unto that (effect), cause, as effect, would b re-absorbed in it during pralaya; from consequences, inappropriate

144) If Brahman is universe's material cause, then during pralaya, when world is re-absorbed within Him, Brahman would experience same consequences as world (tainted with all its defects).

Thus VedAnta would become inappropriate.

tarka pratiSThAnAd apy anyathAnumeyam iti ced evamapyanir moxa prasangaH

ratiocination, reasoning; from zero fixity or finality too; contrary, otherwise inferrable; thus if thus, then too; emancipation proclamation, result

147) If it b said: "Reasoning is endless" = it is always possible to infer any opposite truth, we say "no", for then undesireable end would follow:

no final release or liberation either.

bhoktrA patter avibhAgaz cet syAl lokavat

with jIva = enjoyer; from becoming; sans distinction; if it may be; as in daily life

149) If Brahman b world's material cause, then creation would b oneness, id est, nondistinct, sans variety + Enjoyer = JIva would equal, b same as Supreme Lord.

To this is replied: it need no b so, ordinary life = common experience as proof.

asat vyapadezAn neti cen na dharmAntareNa vAkya-zesAt

temporal, unsubstantial; from distinction; not thus if not; by another attribute/nature; from complementary passage

153) If it b said effect doesn't exist in cause post dissolution because there is text saying it's insubstantial, we reply 'not so', for 'asat' refers to effect's other aspect & doesn't necessarily mean sans endurance, as might appear from text's passage.

itara vyapadezAddhitAkaraNAdi doSa prasaktiH ||

of others; from designation, uncreative, fault, result

157) If alternate be held that jIva creates universe, then creation would b liable to objection:

jIva illogically, intentionally creates such temporary, miserable atmosphere unbeneficial to itself.
