भेदश्रुतेः ॥ १८ ॥
bhedaśruteḥ || 18 ||
18. On account of differentiating scriptural texts.
In Brih. 1. 3. the organs are treated first in one section, and after concluding it the vital force is treated in a fresh section, which shows that they do not belong to the same category. Hence also the organs are independent principles, and not modes of the vital force.
