Hari Om.

In case of shell-silver illusion, silver is kalpita-vishesha, idam is
sAmAnya and shukti is vishesha. That is to say, idam is AdhAra whereas
shukti (or rather shukti-avachchinna-chaitanya) is adhishThAna.

In case of world-Brahman illusion, world is kalpita-vishesha and
akhanDa-paripUrNa-Ananda is the adhishThAna.

What exactly is the sAmAnya here? SAmAnya by definition has to be available
both during bhrama and bAdha. In bAdha, there is nothing but shuddha
Brahman. But that shuddha Brahman cannot be perceived during bhrama due to
AvaraNa.

So, what exactly would be sAmAnya in case of world-Brahman illusion.

Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
