to is the world of Hiranyagarbha. Sankara
holds the same view, though the fate of the
released souls is with him different from what
it is in the system of Ramanuja. Thirdly, Dr.
Thibaut's objection to Sankara's interpretation
of the "True" in Brih. Up. VI. 2, 15 as
Hiranyagarbha is altogether untenable. For,
those who practise this worship are stated
immediately after to ascend by the path of the
gods to the world of Brahman. Therefore,
this world of Brahman is also-as stated in
the sutra above referred to, and as both Sankara
and Ramanuja agree, the place of Hiranya-
garbha. Dr. Thibaut's remarks above quoted
are entirely out of place and seem to show that
he has a very imperfect comprehension of the
subject.
 
Dr. Thibaut next takes up for comment
Sankara's interpretation of Brih. Up. VI. 4-6,7,
which contrasts the fate of him who has desires
and who consequently enters into a new body
on leaving the old one with the fate of
the sage who is free from all desires. The
import of this passage has been already discussed
at length in dealing with Dr. Thibaut's criticism.
