[Advaita-l] Something Shankara alone can dare to say....

[Kalyan]

//Shankara says:  बहूनि मे मम व्यतीतानि अतिक्रान्तानि जन्मानि तव च हे अर्जुन ।
[Many births of mine have gone by.]

This is something Shankara alone will dare to say which is blasphemy for
others. //
This is something which even Ramanuja says. 
There is nothing special here since Krishna himself says that many of his births have gone by.
