[Advaita-l] Shankaracharya about the disposal of a Sannyasin's body on death

[V Subrahmanian]

  In the Brihadaranyaka Bhashya, Bhagavatpada says:

 ‘भस्मान्तं शरीरम्’ (ई. उ. १७)

इति
; न हि पारिव्राज्यपक्षे भस्मान्तता शरीरस्य स्यात् ।

For a Sannyasin the end (of the bodily life) is not cremation (body being
burnt).

Does this mean that even during Shankaracharya's times the practice of not
cremating the body of a Sannyasin but interring it in a
samadhi/adhishthanam was in vogue?
