Namaste Michael ji.

Thank you for the list of PSA/post-Sankara Advaitins who acknowledged

All AchAryAs of advaita have adhyAropa-apavAda as the base of all of their
prakriyAs. Where is the question of any list? I repeat, all AchAryAs have
AA as the core of their prakriyAs.

I don't think there's any doubt the prakriya wsa employed variously in PSA.

Sir, I don't know how else to put it. I gave an analogy of UPI and GPay,
PhonePe etc, if you are familiar with Indian mobile payment system.
AdhyAropa-apavAda is the underlying framework in all the prakriyAs, be it
DSV, SDV, ESV, STV.. whatever. ajAtivAda is the apavAda.

One of SSSS's direct disciples, the anchorite and teacher of my teacher.

I am sorry but as per my understanding, SSS ji did not understand basic
concepts of NyAya and VedAnta. So, there was no "finding" by him, leave
aside "great finding".
