[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Unambiguous statement of Akhandakara vritti in the Gita Bhashyam

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Namaste Venkat ji
Thank you for the reply. I understand upon re-reading that the the
pratiphalita-caitanyaM is being referred to as avagati is clear as the
tIkAkAra says.

I understand the carama vRtti which removes avidyA and its kArya is called
AAV or jnAnaM or BKV

As bhAShya says, य एव अविद्यादिदोषनिवृत्तिफलकृत्प्रत्ययः आद्यः अन्त्यः
सन्ततः असन्ततो वा, स एव विद्येत्यभ्युपगमात्

So bhAShya 100% supports the idea of AAV or BKV which is the carama vRtti
in the SMN process.

I understand you to be saying that the SSS position dismissing AAV is thus
incorrect.

Om
Raghav
