Could you please let me know where Shankara has refuted this view? I did
not find the 'anandamaya' being referred to as the Atman of Sushupti in the
Anandamayadhikaranam of the BSB where the vrittikaara's view is largely
stated and finally refuted. There, in the purvapaksha (for Shankara)
Anandamaya is given praachuryaartha and not vikaaraartha. But he is not
referred as the saushupta atma by either of the vaadins. Please clarify.

Thanks
