Mundaka 5.02
समाने वृक्षे पुरुषो निमग्नः आनीशया शोचति मुह्यमानः। जुष्टं यदा पश्यत्यन्यमीशमस्य महिमानमिति वीतशोकः ॥ २ ॥
On the same tree, the person is immersed, grieves due to helplessness, bewildered. When he sees another being, the adored, the Lord, and realizes the glory of this, he becomes free from sorrow.
Bhāshya 5.02
A testimonial from Brahmasāra is quoted, explaining the difference between that supreme personality 'Puruṣottama' and the individual living being. The Lord is called 'anīśā' as he is 'Lord-less'.
"नास्तीशोऽस्या यतोऽन्यो हि ततोऽनीशा हरेर्मतिः। तया मुह्यति जीवस्तमन्यं ज्ञात्वा विमुच्यते॥ जीवादन्यः स्वतन्त्रो यो यतोऽतः पुरुषोत्तमः॥"
There is no other lord of this universe, hence that supreme Hari is called 'anīśā', i.e. 'Lord-less'. By His intelligence, the living entity is bewildered. By knowing Him, he is liberated. Beyond the living entity, there is another who is independent, and that is 'Puruṣottama', the Supreme Person.
इति ब्रह्मसारे।
- stated thus in Brahmasāra, the essence of Brahman.
