[Advaita-l] [advaitin] SSSS on the controversy between mulav7idya and abhavarupa - directly and simply explained as per SSSS

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Namaste Chandramouli ji.

SSS ji says in the explanation to verse 179 -  आत्माग्रहणमेव तस्या
अनात्मरूपाया रूपम्। अत एव विद्याविरुद्धत्वात् अविद्येति तस्या अपि व्यपदेश
इत्यर्थः।

Anandagiri Swami - नञस्तर्हि कोऽर्थः स्यात् इति आशङ्क्य - यथा
अमित्र-अधर्म-आदौ तदन्यत्वं तद्विरुद्धत्वं वा नञोऽर्थो न तदभावत्वमित्याह -
अमित्रवदिति।

SSS ji accepts that avidyA is vidyA-viruddhA and yet holds - avidyA is
abhAva! This is something hilarious.

VArtikakAra is explaining that agrahaNa is like amitra, which is not some
abhAva - and yet SSS ji can cite this for abhAvatva of avidyA is
unfortunate. The very insertion of amitra is to explain the artha of नञ्
samas.

This is called jabardasti.

Also, can you locate where has SSS ji "explained" BBV 1.4.371 - अस्य
द्वैतेन्द्रजालस्य......
