As I said, it was FYI, out of my respect for Pujya Swamiji, and I have no
reason to take offence.

There was only reading the line, nothing in between. Pujya Swamiji didn't
like the usage "school of thought" for Vedanta, since he said it is the
truth. I thought you and/ or may be others would like to know.

By the way, though not directly relevant to this thread, just curious to

Not that I would like to comment even if I knew what you're talking about,
but I do not know what their respective stands are. Still, if you would
like to know, Vivekachudamani is taught in the Gurukulam, and Pujya Swamiji
has written a book on selected verses. This is also just FYI.

Yes thanks, that deergha A should be hrasva as pUrNamadaH, a typo, due to
what is called a sticky key, which sticks on between adjacent letters.
Anyway, I commented on it because I saw you use it earlier also and thought
that you're not the one to use wrong words; so I marked a PS to point out
an oversight.

Oh, not at all, you are quite good at it, especially since you have trouble
with devanagari fonts on your PC. Far from being eager to use, let alone
correct, I have discomfort reading transliterations myself. :)

Apologies to all for digressing from the thread subject.
