Namaste


In an old post (below) I had cited a shruti passage, without knowing the
exact reference:

*स्वप्रकाशमानन्दघनं शून्यमभवत् इति श्रुतिः ।*


Now, while searching on the google, I got this reference for the above
shruti passage:

https://sa.wikisource.org/s/ktu

It is in the Nrsimha uttara tapinyupanishat:  6th khanda:

// सर्वस्य पुरतः सुविभातमविभातम-द्वैतमचिन्त्यमलिङ्गं स्वप्रकाशमानन्दघनं
शून्यमभवत् । एवंवित्स्वप्रकाशं परमेवब्रह्म भवति...//

This post is merely to intimate that the source of the passage is now known.
