[Advaita-l] [advaitin] A Post-Shankara Advaitin says 'anādi ajnāna, etc. are mithyā'

Namaste.

There is one important point - these descriptions of mulavidya are from the
frame of reference of mulavidya.

From the frame of reference of Brahman, this mulavidya is horns of hare.

If this important point is appreciated by SSSS ji, which he has never
acknowledged, he would have appreciated the beauty of descriptions of PSA.

Please refer to the vartika:

नाविद्याऽस्येत्यविद्यायामेवाऽऽसित्वा प्रकल्प्यते ।।
ब्रह्मटृष्ट्या त्वविद्येयं न कथंचन युज्यते ।। १७६ ।।

So, from the frame of reference of avidya, it is anirvachaniya,
sakshi-bhasya, mithya etc.

From the frame of reference of Brahman, this avidya is tuchcha, horns of
hare etc. It is no longer sakshi-bhasya, mithya etc. It is tuchha.

This fundamental cornerstone of advaita vedanta is completely ignored by
SSSS ji.
