This has direct reference to the advaitic model of pramA which was
compared to the dvatic model in a previous posting. This has direct
reference to comparisons of sAkshI-A and sAkshi-D which has drawn
attention from some readers.
If you ignore this context, of course, you can always draw implications
such as:
"He is *directly* implying that Shankara and his disciples were
inconsistent!"
You are free to draw such implications, but do not blame it one me.
Show me where I have mentioned Acharya Shankara in the article on
"dvaita and advaita on pramA" before you make such statements.
