[Advaita-l] darshanas - older and later

[Gopal]

Namaste,
Adityaji, thanks for your vociferous reply. I requested info for the sake
of some research and definitely not to start an argument..

Subbuji and Sarmaji, and others,  Kindly point me to any source writings on
the evolution/sharing of thought from older (pre-Buddhic) darshanas to the
later ones codified post-Budhha as in the three vedanta schools.  I had
promised someone specific examples and pramanas on whether the vedanta
schools have adopted some core ideas from the five schools but could not
(due to my limits) identify such references in detail.

sincerely,
..gopal gopinath
