[Advaita-l] Shiva consuming hAlAhala - an interpolation in samudra manthana

[V Subrahmanian]

The Keshi suktam is what is referred to by them. They hold that Vāyu

it. But the Keshi suktam has been interpreted by Sayana without bringing
this episode into it at all. It is a hymn to Surya according to him.
