Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

The two alternatives given in VivaraNa, can they not be understood as
corresponding to the two ways in which the observed shukti-rajata is
presented after bAdha. Namely as  नेदंरजतम्(nedaMrajatam) (First
alternative you have interpreted as ESV) and   नात्र रजतम्(nAtra rajatam)
(Second alternative you have interpreted as STV).

I am not sure if this interpretation also holds good as my knowledge of
Sanskrit is limited. But having seen the two alternatives discussed in
Advaita Siddhi concerning the second definition of mithyAtva,  thought this
might also be a possibility. Open to correction.

Regards
