Pranams.

Reg  << We just tend to say that it is avayava and which can be recognized
by only due process.
That avayava has tAdAtmya with whatever is generated by them >>,

The above statement practically conveys no meaning. This is surely not
Advaita Sidhanta. What we are referring to as tAdAtmya is between two (or
more perhaps) entities which are manifest and observed/experienced together
always, and which are not observed/experienced independently of each other
any time.

I am stopping with this.

Regards
