A humble suggestion, if श्रीमल्ललितालालितः considers it practical.   If he can write an article/series of article/blog post based upon his considerable understanding of this topic and term, it may be beneficial to many who have been following this discussion.

धन्यवाद,
Sanju

> 07.  how would one get the AV ??  what is the sAdhana prescribed for this??  Is it same as vedAnta vAkya shravaNAdi sAdhana or something else apart from it?? If the shavaNAdi sAdhana is required to acquire AV, then what is the difference between vedAnta vAkya janita paramArtha jnAna (samyak jnAna) and this AV??
> 08.  whether the holder of AV is still have any avidyA in any form?? If yes, what will be the nature of that avidyA in the holder of AV ""

I would expect only answers without expecting counter commanding questions like what is your understanding of this term, that term etc. :-)  Hope prabhuji-s in this group would help.

He may be defining this system-specific-term according to his present limited learning, similar to what most were doing here.​
