Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,
Certainly I am not denying sAdi adhyAsa and anAdi adhyAsa. But all adhyAsa
should not be classified as effect, and hence *follows* cause, in terms of
time. There is anAdyadhyAsa which is not an *effect* meaning that it
*follows* a cause in terms of time.
Aham-adhyAsa basically is jIva. And jIva is anAdi.
This is how I have framed my understanding of BhAshya. As for the
references you have cited, I certainly believe they should be understood in
the particular context in which they are made. I am unable to offer any
comments at this stage as my knowledge of Sanskrit is limited, and I may
not be able to understand those portions in a reasonable time. If and when
I am in a position to do so, I will refer back.
Regards
This is in response to a post by Sudhanshu Ji which included an image and
hence is being rejected by Advaita 1 list. I am copying below his post
omitting the image from Prabodha Parishodhini
// What is the meaning of कादाचित्क Chandramouli ji? It refers to
kArya-adhyAsa.
Also, please check VivaraNa:
अध्यास-प्रवाह-जन्मना उपादान-कारण-रूपेण नैसर्गिकत्वम् (अनादित्वम्)
कार्य-व्यक्ति-रूपेण नैमित्तिकत्वम् (सादित्वम्)
Please also check Prabodha-Parishodhini commentary on Panchapadika which
clearly uses the term anAditva and sAditva.
Quote from Prabodha-Parishodhini ( which I have omitted ).
So, it is clear that description of sAdi-adhyAsa and anAdi-adhyAsa is being
made in terms of time. Also, kArya-vyakti is sAdi, having a beginning in
terms of time //
