Namaste,

 

Does anyone have Shankara-Bhashya on Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6:2 :

 

....

teneshitaM karma vivartate ha pRRithyaapyatejo.anilakhaani chintyam ||

 

 

Regards,

Namaste Sunder ji:

Recently i was told that Shankara has used this word in the above bhashyam.

And i was also told that His authorship of this bhashyam is not undisputedly

accepted by the international fraternity of scholars. I shall try to get the

exact passage and post it here. I tried in the Ramakrishna Ashram Library and

could not find it there. However, a book titled 'Svetasvatara upanishad' by

Swami Tyagisananda, published by the Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, contains the

following note under the above cited mantra:

for the word 'assumes' : The word 'vivartate' in the text seems to suggest the

vivarta theory of Sri Shankara, according to which Brahman appears as the world

without really undergoing any change. p.114

 

Warm regards

Namaste Subbu-ji,

 

Thank you. The Brahma Sutra Bhashya contains at least 14

cross-references/quotations from Shvetashvatara Upanishad, though

not to this particular mantra.

 

 

Regards,

 

Sunder
