[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Did Shankara make a mistake?

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear Subbuji,

The concerned writer obviously gas not checked the term defined in  the Amarakosha nor he has read the Dhammapada, where Lord Buddha himself says who is Sugata. Moreover the Jains also used the term Sugata.

Regards,

 Just one
 of many such statements found here:
 http://www.stephen-knapp.com/were_there_two_buddhas.htm 
 // Acarya Sri Shankara has by
 mistake referred to Maya's son, Buddha, as Sugata
 Buddha' in the following commentary: sarvatha api anadaraniya ayam
 sugata-samayaha shreyaskamaih iti abhiprayaha. (BSB
 2.2.32)//
 Is the above charge been
 addressed by any Advaitin?
