[Advaita-l] Mandukya UP - Praviviktabhuk definition

[Praveen R. Bhat]

Namaste Chandramouliji,

Sure, the difference can be explained in any way but the samAsa is
experiencer of something different. The Bhashya quotation proves the same
as below:

This explains praviviktabhuk, for pravivikta. viShayI, not viShaya.

Due to Vishva having viShayas, his experience is of sthUlA prajnA.

Here (in dream) though, due to mere vAsanA prajnA being experienced, it is
a *pravivikta = different bhoga*

As I said, the word pravivikta should not land into jIva, the experiencer,
but the word praviviktabhuk should land in that meaning. If you say jIva
experiences himself, I have no arguments per se siddhAnta-wise
(technically, there is kartR-karma-virodha to be explained, etc), but I
want to keep to the context of the question itself.
