[Advaita-l] [advaitin] 'The Jiva is Mithya' - an article in English

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Sorry for the interruption.

Reg // One does not need to be a great logician to appreciate प्रतिबिम्बो
बिम्बाभिन्नः, बिम्बाजनकाजन्यत्वात्। It is substantiated by evidence //,

I certainly seem to be missing out on something .

Vivarana Prameya Samgraha  (edition with hindi commentary), page 214
states  //  ….दर्पणेन  चैकमेव मुखबिम्बप्रतिबिम्बरूपेण  विभज्यते …..//,

// …..darpaNena  chaikameva mukhabimbapratibimbarUpeNa  vibhajyate….. //,

Translation VPS (Prof Suryanarayana Shastri) page 129  // ……and by the
mirror the face which is but one is divided into prototype and reflection …
.//.

This appears to be contradictory to the  above copied from your post. Can
you please clarify.

Regards
