[Advaita-l] 'KaaraNa shariram' mentioned in Paingalopanishad

[V Subrahmanian]

With reference to the Wiki article, I checked and found that Shankara has
not referred to the Pingalopanishad but has made several mentions of
'Paingirahasya brahmanam' citing even the 'dvaa suparna' of Mundaka
(atharva veda).  So, the contention of the Wiki article is incorrect.
