[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Is pot-abhAva bhAvarUpa

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

The Anandagiri TIkA to this section sheds light on this question.

He says: स्वरूपपररूपाभ्यां सर्वं सदसदात्मकमिति हि वृद्धाः । तथा च पटादेः
स्वेनाऽत्मना भावत्वं घटतादात्म्याभावात्तदभावत्वं चेत्यव्याहतिरित्यर्थः ।

The cloth as itself is bhAvAtmaka, and in the sense of not having tAdAtmya
with the pot, is abhAvAtmaka. The same can be extended to atyantAbhAva of
the pot on the ground too. As the ground, it is bhAvAtmaka; as the absence
of the pot, the very same ground is abhAvAtmaka.

Kind regards,
Venkatraghavan
