[Advaita-l] ChidAbhAsa and Ishvara

[Raghav Kumar]

Very useful verse from vasudeva mananam. What does the text say for the
samaShTi-sthUlasharIropAdhika-paramAtman? (for comparison)

In other words, the  text quoted by you has..vyaShTi sthUla sarIrOpahitasya
paramAtmanaH vishwa vyAvahArikaH
chidAbhAsaH iti nAmAni." Is there a corresponding verse for the samashTi ?
that would settle the issue whether the word cidAbhAsaH is relevant at the
samashTi level or not.



Thank you

Raghav
