Indeed a pleasant surprise. For a change, our respective understandings
seem to converge
​,​
​
at least
​
in respect of content, though not in
​respect of
​
the headings.  That would not have mattered, but for
​the ​
possibility
​​
of misunderstandings thereby. That it is indeed so is borne out by the
context of this discussion itself, which is the objection raised  by  Sri
Ananthapadmanabhachariar. My opinion is that he has gone by the title
“creation by jIva” and not the content of the Bhashya in raising the
objection. The content invalidates his objection.
