[Advaita-l] adhikAra - veda - vedAnta, a query

[V Subrahmanian]

In the Jivan Mukti Viveka (First chapter), Swami Vidyaranya has said that
sannyasa for women is permitted. The 'praisha' mantra they have to utter is
to be in their native language.  The Mahabharata talks of a sannyasini by
name Sulabha whom Shankara has cited in the Brahmasutra bhashya:
