The Upadesha Sahasri verse mentions  << vedAntasyaiva  tatvArthe
vyAssyAbhimatau >>  while the above mentions  << Sarvavedarthatattvavit
(somewhat)  >>.  Note the difference between Veda*n*ta tatva and Veda*r*tha
tatva.  Brahma sutras are also called Vedanta Sutras. Hence the conclusion
that the Upadesha Sahasri verse refers to Vyasa as the author of Brahma
Sutras.
