The Vedanta Sutras of Badarayana: Third Adhyâya. Third Pâda.: III, 3, 11
11. Bliss and other (qualities) as belonging to the subject of the qualities (have to be attributed to Brahman everywhere).
Those scriptural texts which aim at intimating the characteristics of Brahman separately ascribe to it various qualities, such as having bliss for its nature, being one mass of knowledge, being omnipresent, being the Self of all and so on. Now the doubt here presents itself whether in each place where Brahman is spoken of we have to understand only those qualities which actually are mentioned there, or whether we have to combine all qualities of Brahman mentioned anywhere.
