Namaste Ananta Chaitanya ji.
Any sentence which posits mithyAtva of seen is acceptable as propounding
DSV.
In Advaita Siddhi, Neha nAnA asti kinchan, which propounds mithyAtva of
seen, is accepted as the bAdhaka in accepting pratyabhijnA. The logic is as
follows. Since seen is mithyA, it has to have pratIti-mAtra-sharIra like
illusory snake and hence it cannot have sattva at any time other than that
of its pratibhAsa. Therefore, A seen at time t1 and t2 will imply two
different A1 and A2. This will imply that pratyabhijnA held to be a
bhrAnti. ‘नेह नाने'त्यादिश्रुतिभिः प्रपञ्चस्य मिथ्यात्वेऽवधृते
रज्जुसर्पादिवत् प्रतिभासमात्रशरीरत्वमेव प्रतिभासकालातिरिक्तकालसत्त्वे
बाधकम् , अतो भिन्नकालानामात्मभिन्नानां प्रत्यभिज्ञा भ्रान्तिः ।
Please share the sentences from MuNDaka which appear to you as DSV.
