> It appears therefore that the DSV of Sri MS does not adopt or endorse the
> two recognized DSVs namely DES (dRShTi eva sRShTi ) and DSKS (
> dRShTisamakAlInasRShTiH) which admit of only two sattAs namely
> pAramArthika and vyAvahArika. The version of Sri MS appears to be a third
> variety which, in my view, is very close to avasthAtrayavivEka.
