[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Shankara compares and contrasts Prātibhāsika, Vyāhārika and Pāramārthika

@everyone,
If you wish to know to SSS's position on pratibasika (4.2) or avidya in
deep sleep (4.3) along with his understainding of adhyaropa/apavada, I
don't believe there is anyone more competent and clear to convey SSS
interpretation of PTB than Dr. Manjushree Hedge.

Here is a link to her  "Two Truths" paper.
