[Advaita-l] Padmapada in the Panchapadika says Shankara is incarnation

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste,

There is no doubt about this and that too for we advaitins.

From तोटकाष्टकम्

…………….
भव एव भवानिति मे नितरां
समजायत चेतसि कौतुकिता ।
……………………

गुरुपुङ्गव पुङ्गवकेतन ते 
समतामयतां नहि कोऽपि सुधीः ।

This should not be a surprise for us....however, the crux lies in realising that 
we are also Shiva !

rgs,
