Dear Michael ji.

SSSS points out "tamah prakashavad" ' is simply intended as an example to

SSSS ji's statement is devoid of merit and logic. The intention of
BhAshyakAra is to display mutual-anAtmatA of asmat-pratyaya-gochara and
yushmat-pratyaya-gochara and for that he chose prakAsha and tamas, which
indeed possess mutual anAtmatA.

I had earlier refuted whatever SSSS ji said on this topic in my post at
https://tinyurl.com/m45jesps. I had received no response on this.
