[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Shankara compares and contrasts Prātibhāsika, Vyāhārika and Pāramārthika

[Michael Chandra Cohen]

  SSS keeps the distinction epistemic (before vs after knowledge), whereas
PSA ontologizes it into graded levels of being; but once reality is graded,
the world is no longer “indeterminable,” so the three-sattā theory
collapses into a covert hierarchy of reality rather than a standpoint-based
method.
