[Advaita-l] Doubt on how Bhagavad padha 'identified' himself

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste.

Sri SSS has written independently a commentary in sanskrit, named
KlEshApahAriNi which has been translated into kannada aslo, on
Naishkarmyasiddhi. Against 4-44, he also mentions that the word drAvida
refers to Sri Bhagavatpada.
