[Advaita-l] 'Tamas' (Darkness) as a Dravya, matter

[kuntimaddi sadananda]

Subbuji - PraNAms
In the English translation of the book the last section that deals with Advaita doctrine is left out. 
'The system of Śaṅkara, which comes next in succession, and which is the crest-gem of all systems, has been explained by us elsewhere; it is, therefore, leftuntouched here.[467]E. B. C.' 
Hari Om!Sadananda
