[Advaita-l] Shastra reference for Sanyasa Ashrama

[V Subrahmanian]

In the Jivanmukti viveka Swami Vidyaranya accepts sannyasa for women,
without uttering the praisha mantra but by saying its equivalent in their
mother tongue.

Also he cites a verse that says: The mother and the wife of a person who
takes sannyasa as per the vidhi, will be getting a male body in their later
life.

warm regards
