Interpretation Is Not Exact. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Brahma Sutra is the manual of Vedanta-
The quintessence of the Upanishads.
It was enunciated by Ved Vyasa,
Who spoke neither Advaita or Vishistavaita.

What Vyasa conveyed is Monothesm
That he has eloberated all along
In his Mahabhatat and Bhagavat.
Sutra is defenition made sharp.

Shankaracharya has commented on it.
Madhavacharya has commented on it.
Sri Ramnuja has commented on it.
Three blue prints of one reality.

A commentator while commenting
On a scripture, starting with its belief,
Would force his views onto the scripture
So as to make it consistent with his thoughts.

Having thus read one's commentary,
One will carry the view of the commentator,
Which may not be the writer's view,
And to that extent distortion takes place.
