तथान्यप्रतिषेधात् ॥ ३६ ॥
tathānyapratiṣedhāt || 36 ||
tathā—Similarly; anya-pratiṣedhāt—on account of the express denial of all other things.
36. Similarly on account of the express denial of all other things (there is nothing but Brahman).
A further reason is given to show that there is nothing but Brahman. “The Self is all this” (Chh. 7.25.2); “All this is Brahman alone” (Mu. 2.2.11) etc. deny the existence of anything else besides Brahman. Therefore Brahman is one without a second.
