[Advaita-l] vedAnta mahAvAkya - A query

[V Subrahmanian]

In Ramanuja's system the Shruti passages are categorized into three:   श्री
रामानुजाचार्य जी का समन्वय परक श्रुत्यर्थ देखते बनता है।*भेदश्रुति,अभेदश्रुति
तथा घटकश्रुति* का विशिष्टाद्वैत परक अर्थ  ...  bheda shruti, abheda shruti
and ghaTaka shruti....  https://tinyurl.com/yfh5dvbx

In the Madhva system everything other than Vishnu is endowed with only
dependent, paratantra, reality; Vishnu alone has independent, swatantra
reality. So, the entire Vedic corpus, being distinct from Brahman, Vishnu,
has only a dependent reality. Of course Jayatirtha makes this category of
the Upanishad passages, in refutation of a different classification by
Shankara:

सर्वाण्यपि हि वेदवाक्यान्यसङ्खयेयकल्याणगुणाकरं सकलदोषगन्धविधुरमेकरूपमेव
ब्रह्म नारायणाख्यं प्रतिपादयन्ति ।
किन्तु
कानिचित्सर्वज्ञत्वसर्वेश्वरत्वसर्वान्तर्यामित्वसौन्दर्यौदार्यवीर्यादिगुणविशिष्टतया
।
कानिचिदपहतपाप्मत्वनिर्दुःखत्वप्राकृतभौतिकविग्रहरहितत्वादिदोषाभावविशिष्टतया ।
