[Advaita-l] pratiyogI-jnAna being mandatory for abhAva-jnAna

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

In my understanding, in Advaita Siddhanta, prior pratiyogI-jnAna in full is
not essential for its abhAva-jnAna. It is sufficient to have  some features
of the pratiyogI-jnAna. Partial pratiyogI-jnAna. For example in a place
where there are no round bodied objects, there can be abhAva-jnAna of a pot
if it is understood to have a round shape. There need not be jnAna of what
a pot exactly is.
