Dear Bhaskarji,

The very wording of Prasthanatraya was proabaly coined only about five hundred years ago by Madhusudana Saraswati. At Adi Shankara's time  the phrase was probably not in circulation.

 For that matter more than 250
 works (like bhAshya-s, prakaraNa-s, stOtra-s, upadesha,
 prashnOttara etc. ) have been popularly attributed to
 prasthAnatraya bhAshyakAra. 
  It is all based on volumes of work ( I think it is about 20
 volumes) published by vANi vilas press, Srirangam.  And
 according to some reliable sources, tradition would believe
 that all these works have been approved and accepted as the
 work of bhAshyakAra
  by the then Sringeri Jagadguru HH Sri sacchidaananda
 shivAbhinava nrusimha bhArati mahAswaminaH.  But nowadays
 in scholarly circle all these works have not been considered
 as the work of bhAshyakAra hence during the siddhAnta
 pratipAdana most of the times
  they use only prasthAna traya bhAshya.  It is only these
 works that will be treated as self-sufficient material to
 determine the Advaita siddhAnta as per Adi shankara.  As
 far as my knowledge goes, no traditional Acharya doubted the
 authorship of prasthAna
  traya bhAshya though there is strong enough doubts on the
 authorship of viveka chudAmani, trishati bhAshya,
 prapanchasaara, soundarya lahari etc.  And now you are
 debating that even geeta bhAshya too not from Adi
 shankara’s pen and trying to make prasthAna
  traya to  prasthAna dvaya J 
    
 Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!

 Dear friends,
 
 
 
 Regarding the total 16 Shankarabhashyas, we can make it
 easier if we take that 12 bhashyas (i.e. the
 Bhagavadgiabhasya + Brahmasutrbhashya + the ten major
 Upanishad bhshyas) as confirmed.
 
 
 
 
 Then, we have to fill in only four remaining places with
 four Shankara bhashyas out of the following 7 bhashyas...If
 I have left out any other contender(s), you may kindly add
 those too, to these seven contenders.
 
 
 
 
 1)
 
 Nrsimhapurvatapaiyaupanishad bhashy
 
 2)
 
 Shvetasvataraupanishad bhashys
 
 3
 
 )Kenopanishad vakyabhashya
 
 4)
 
 Lalitatrishati bhashya
 
 5)
 
 Sanatsujatiya bhashya
 
 6)
 
 Yogasutravivaranabhshya
 
 7)
 
 Vishnusahasranama bhashya
 
 
 
 I shall be thankful if you can kindly come out with your
 suggestions.

 Dear friends,,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I understand that Adi Shankara wrote 16 bhashyas and to
 my
 
 knowledge nobody has contested that and nobody came out
 with
 
 any other figure. In case you agree to the figure of 16
 
 bhashyas, I have a request. As you are sure about the
 
 Bhagavadgitabhashya to be of Adi Shankara, you may also
 be
 
 sure about the rest of the 15 bhashyas of Adi Shankara.
 It
 
 will be kind of you if you can kindly give their names of
 
 these 15 bhashyas.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 If you think that there were a bigger number of bhashyas
 of
 
 Adi Shankara, you may kindly let me know that also.
