[Advaita-l] Question on adhyaasa

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste.

Thought as much. But wanted confirmation before responding.

Direct answer to the earlier question is that the source is the commentary
in tamil by Swami Jnanananda Bharati on verse 6-24 of Panchadashi cited by
Sri Sadananda Ji. The idea is that the variety contributes significantly to
the veiling/hiding.
