[Advaita-l] Two Advaitic verses with a profound combined purport

[Venkatraghavan S]

To put it even more simply - He is talking of svarUpasya niShedha: and you
are talking of svarUpeNa niShedha:. They are different. The former is
referring to the negation of svarUpa, the latter is referring to the
negation as svarUpa (ie total negation).
