I have given exact statement of MS in the commentary of SS which states
this.
I have not studied Samkshepa ShArIraka or its commentary by Sri MS in any

My statements were based on SS and commentaries thereupon by MS and
NrisimhAshrama Swamiji.
Having said that, I have no qualms on what I have stated in my earlier post

The claim was as per the text. It was a bold claim. But in line with SS. I
am open for correction but some proper rebuttal should be there. If someone
rejects SS, I am not interested. Rejecting SS necessitates the rejection of
such reject-or himself.
However, accepting SS and not accepting progressive drishTi is simply
impossible as per my understanding of SS.
