Prof. V.K. Thanks for pointing the typo. I am as usual overwhelmed with adhyaasa. Mind thinks, but while typing through the fingers does not really see what it is typing but reads what it is thinking only. Some of these aspects - Chetana kaaraNa vaada will be presented in refuting saa~nkhya philosophy starting from today's post on BSB related to Suutra-5. Thanks for the excellent post. Hari Om!
