Do you mean that the meaning of mithyAjnAna is adhyAsa?


Ø     Yes, in short, Sri SSS does not want to see the split like mithyA ajnAna nimittaH etc which vyAkhyAnakAra did, according to his observation this adhyAsa is avidyA which is the main avidyA which bhAshyakAra deals in all through PTB.  adhyAsa is atasmin tadbuddhi, AtmAnAtma anyOnyAdhyAsa, this adhyAsa is called avidyA by pundita-s as we can see in adhyAsa bhAshya.  And ultimately this adhyAsa too  adhyArOpita on brahman for the teaching purpose.  Misconception (tappu tiLuvaLike in kannada), adhyAsa, vipareeta grahaNa, anyathAgrahaNa, vipareeta pratyaya etc. are synonyms.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
