[Advaita-l] Sleep, tamas and brahman

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sri Subrahmanian Ji,



Reg  << 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. >>,



I have always understood Anandamaya AtmA as the Atman obtaining in
Sushupti. Without going into further elaborate explanations on the same, I
will cite just one specific quote from the vyAkhyAna of Sri Anandagiri
Acharya on the Bhashya on Prashna Up 4-6



<<अनेनाऽऽन्दमयकोशशब्दितमनभिव्यक्तमनआदिवासनावदज्ञान॔  सुषुप्तधर्मीयुक्तं
पञ्चमप्रश्नस्योत्तरं  ........>>



<< anenA.a.andamayakoshashabditamanabhivyaktamanaAdivAsanAvadaj~nAna॔
suShuptadharmIyuktaM  pa~nchamaprashnasyottaraM  ........>>.



Factually,  I landed on this from the footnotes by Sri SSS on this part of
the Bhashya wherein he says



<< The VyAkhyAna  on this Bhashya which says that ajnAna which is named
Anandamaya kOsha is referredto here is not in accordance with the Bhashya >>
!!!.



Regards
