[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Question on Sankhya prakruti versus Advaita maya from Vedanta Paribhasha

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Vikram Ji,

Please refer BSB 1-4-3. I think your question is answered there.

You may also  like to refer to BSB 1-4-8 for a discussion on the Sv. Up
mantra referred to in the Foot Note in VP mentioned by you.

Regards
