Namaste Ananta Chaitanya Ji,

I am sorry I could not understand the clarification. I may add that Sri
SSS, in a Footnote to this part of the Bhashya, states that in the view of
the Shruti, entire external Jagat, Creation, merges into ParamAtma (using
same terminology as in the translation). In my understanding of the stand
of Sri SSS, there is no avidyA in sushupti.

Regards
