[Advaita-l] [advaitin] BrihadAraNyaka 4.3.19 and Aitareya 1.3.12

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste.

Sudhanshu Ji cited Aitareya Bhashya 1-3-12   //  *ननु* *जागरितं*
*प्रबोधरूपत्वान्न* *स्वप्नः** । **नैवम्** ; **स्वप्न* *एव* । कथम् ?
परमार्थस्वात्मप्रबोधाभावात् *स्वप्नवदसद्वस्तुदर्शनाच्च *।

Thus, a complete identity of waking and dream states is posited on account
of "darshana of non-existent vastu" i.e. asat-vastu-darshana //.

And concluded  // Incidentally, it also proves that there is
asat-vastu-darshana in deep sleep //.

Sri Subrahmanian Ji stated  // what else is this other than drishti srishti
//.

Subsequently  Sudhanshu Ji  affirmed this. But also  cited Kaushitaki Up
3-3 in support. Ananta Chaitanya Ji is citing  Bhashya BSB 1-3-30 wherein
the same Kaushitaki mantra  is cited, along with Ratnaprabha commentary
thereon

// Coincidentally, during my study, I came across Bhagavan Bhashyakara
quoting this very mantra under Br. Su.1.3.30, explaining which
Bhashyaratnaprabha says:

स्वप्नवत्कल्पितस्याज्ञातसत्त्वाभावात् दर्शनं सृष्टिः अदर्शनं लय इति
दृष्टिसृष्टिपक्षः श्रुत्यभिप्रेत इति भावः । //.

Here, in Kaushitaki Up,  अदर्शनं लय (adarshanaM laya) , it is stated that
there is अदर्शनं (adarshanaM) during sushupti , while earlier citation from
Aitareya Up stated ** "darshana of non-existent
vastu" i.e. asat-vastu-darshana ** during Sushupti. Are not these two
contradictory ?

I am not contesting any claims. Just a genuine doubt. I might have made a
mistake in understanding. Apologies in advance if so.
