[Advaita-l] Regarding the Pancharatra, Shankara is one with Purvamimamsa

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Are you suggesting that the philosophical position of gItA and MB is
theistic sAMkhya (of yoga sUtra fame) where Ishvara's is just a puruSha
visheSha rather than jagatkAraNam? Surely even the mUla shlokas like
क्षेत्रज्ञं चापि मां विद्धि सर्वक्षेत्रषु भारत puts the MB outside the pale
of the theistic sAMkhya for which puruSha nAnAtvaM is axiomatic.

 The whole point is that philosophically the MB and BS are very close if
not identical (as demonstrated  by Shankara). That greatly weakens the case
for saying that bAdarAyaNa and vyAsa are different. To say that the 2
personalities  are different on the ground that the *word* sAmkhya is
favorably used in gItA and not so in sUtras, is not convincing.
