Dear Sri Shyam,
>The reference is to the famous quotation in the Shve. Up. "yada
>charmavadakasham veshtayishyanti maanavah..." - which simply means that only
>when man can figure out how to roll up this entire expanse of space like he
>would roll up a leather-skin, can there be an end to samsara without knowledge
>of the Lord.
Thank you. A lovely figure of speech to indicate utter impossibility. (Much
better than the modern 'when hell freezes over').
And, as I see the logic of the acharya's explanation; with this he addresses the
'bandha-mokSa taddhetu Sastra anarthakya prasanga' of the objection.
Regards,
Murali Manohar
