Here is yet another, but with even more clarity, bhashyam from the
chandogya up.5.10.1:

तत्रैवोक्तं पौराणिकैः — ‘आभूतसम्प्लवं स्थानममृतत्वं हि भाष्यते’ (वि. पु.
२-८-९७) इति । यच्च आत्यन्तिकममृतत्वम्, तदपेक्षया ‘न तत्र दक्षिणा यन्ति’ ‘स
एनमविदितो न भुनक्ति’ इत्याद्याः श्रुतयः — इत्यतो न विरोधः । ‘न च
पुनरावर्तन्ते’ (छा. उ. ८-१५-१)

इति ‘इमं मानवमावर्तं नावर्तन्ते’ (छा. उ. ४-१५-५)
<http://advaitasharada.sringeri.net/php/format.php?bhashya=Chandogya&page=04#Ch_C04_S15_V05>
इत्यादि श्रुतिविरोध इति चेत्, न ; ‘इमं मानवम्’ इति विशेषणात् ‘तेषामिह न
पुनरावृत्तिरस्ति’ (बृ. मा. ६-१-१८) इति च । यदि हि एकान्तेनैव नावर्तेरन्,
इमं मानवम् इह इति च विशेषणमनर्थकं स्यात् । इममिह इत्याकृतिमात्रमुच्यत इति
चेत्, न ; अनावृत्तिशब्देनैव नित्यानावृत्त्यर्थस्य प्रतीतत्वात् आकृतिकल्पना
अनर्थिका । अतः इममिह इति च विशेषणार्थवत्त्वाय अन्यत्र आवृत्तिः कल्पनीया ।

[Thanks to the efforts of the Advaita ShAradA project, it was very easy to
search, copy and paste here the above bhashya portion.]

This occurs towards the end of the bhashyam for the 1st mantra.  One can
read the translation in Swami Gambhirananda's book p.357 of the Advaita
Ashrama edition 2006.
