The hEtu "dRshyatvAt" used in that anumAna is under tension with Sri
GaudapadAchrya's guru Sri.Veda Vyasa's sUtra II.2.26 "Om naasatOdrishTatvAt
Om".  Although Acharya Shankara's reading of that sUtra is a diffrent
context and nothing to do with mithyatvam of this jagat, but the very hEtu
he uses to refute  Bauddhas (Vainasikas) is the same "dRshyatvAt". Not that
I am invoking the authority of Vyasa or Shankara, but there exist a
disagreement on the hEtu itself in the tradition.
