[Advaita-l] Atirudra Sathachandi MahaYagna Sarva Shaka Sammelana Mahotsavam Monday, July 16 to Sunday, July 22, 2018

[Praveen R. Bhat]

Looking up further, is the reference to upodghAta shloka 15:

न शठाय न दुष्टाय नाविश्वासाय कर्हिचित्।
श्रीमातृभक्तियुक्ताय श्रीविद्याराजचेदिने॥१५॥

followed by the comment so? न केवलं भक्तिमात्रमधिकारितावच्छेदकमिति द्योतनाय
विशेषणद्वयम्। विद्याराजः पञ्चदशी तद्वेदनं गुरुमुखादुपदेशः।

Kind rgds,
