Namaste

This  is hiding other parts of the same commentary in Hindi.
<< अथवा, पाण्डित्यं निर्विध्य  बाल्येन तिष्ठासेत्  (बृ.उ. ३.५) के अनुसार
> ज्ञान  के  बल वाले  को  यहाँ  बाल  कहा । >>,

But in the same commentary he has said -

इसी प्रकार सारी सृष्टि के प्रति स्वयं को कारण समझते ही संसार की बन्धकता
समाप्त हो जाती है, अन्यथा बाह्य कारणों की शृंखला बढती रहती है । Here he is
saying when he accepts he himself is the cause of Samsaara in DSV the
Bondage will end. Otherwise the External Causes will keep on increasing and
it will be difficult to escape from Bondage. It cannot mean Jeevan Mukta
because for him the bondage has already ended. Therefore the DSV EJV is
also for a Mumukshu. Jeevan Mukta can also accept it. But it is not only
for Jeevan Muktas. That is a wrong interpretation.
