[Advaita-l] "VEDA IS NO MORE veda "

[KALPANA MANSI]

sir, I am extremely sorry for it, yer in footnotes there maintained that
Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 4.3.22. apart from this added one more reference in
this connection Sankara's commentary on the BS, 4.1.3, towards the close,
begging with the sentence, "prakprabodhat samsaritvabhyupagamat" till
"isyata eva asmabhih sruterapi abhavah prabodhe"
