Dear Sri Subramanian,You Write :
“Mandukya too has such referenceslike Brahman is prapanchopasham”.
Mandukya also says : "sarvagaM hi Etad brahma ayamAtmA brahma"
Mantra 7-25-1 of Chandogya says : ahamEvEdagM sarvam ||
Mantra 7-25-2 of Chandogya says : AtmaivEdagaM sarvam ||
Hence AtmA is ptapaMcOpaSamaH and I am prapaMcOpaSamah||
Is the above conclusion a mere intellectual one or is it a fact of life HERE &NOW?
HOw can this be cognized as a fact of Life within oneself by oneself?
Based on your own anuBava I request you kindly to reveal this to me. Then only you quoting these Sruti mantras become fruitful to the reader.
With respectful pranams,
Sreenivasa Murthy.

You can look at the many references in the Upanishads for equivalent words and expressions that unambiguously convey the idea of mithyatva.
The Chandogya 6th chapter says the world as a transformation of Brahman is not real. Mrittikeyyeva satyam..
Apaagat agneragnitvam..
Mandukya too has such references like Brahman is prapanchopasham.
Mayamaatram dvaitam Advaitam paramarthathah, etc.
There are many.

Namaskar everyone
There is a very complex debate between Vaishnavas and Advaitins, where Vaishnavas have been saying that Jagat is Satya and nowhere in Upanishads it is written the Jagat is Mithya or unreal. It comes in Niralamba Upanishad 'Brahma Satyam Jagat MithyA' but this is not one of the Mukhya Upanishads.
Please kindly tell where is term 'Mithya' in the Mukhya Upanishads?
