[Advaita-l] 'Adhyaropa apavada' found in Vivarana and other texts

[Michael Chandra Cohen]

Dear Subbhuji, Namaste. SSSSji acknowledged post-Sankara Advaita
vyakhyanakaras recognized Adhyaropa/Apavada but did not give it the status
that Sruti, Bhasya and the ancient tradition taught. AA is not one among
prakriyas but the one overriding prakriya of all Vedanta.
