Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Dear All, There is a sloka mentioned by Sri Shankara Bhagavadpada himself in the commentary of Hastamalaka sloka # 5. It goes like this: tatha ca guruH: bhudhi-indriya-shariirebhyo bhinna aatma vibhur-dhruvaH nanaroopaH prati-kshetram-aatma vrittishu bhasate. Therefore, the Guru says: The Atman is different from the Intellect, Senses and the body. It is Omnipresent and Eternal. It is seen as many in every body. This Atman reflects in the Intellect. I would request the learned members of this group to give me the reference for the above sloka. I want to know to whom Sri Shankara here refers as Guru. With regards, Anupam.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Namaste Shri Anupam-ji, According to the translation by Shri Sastri-ji, Shankara bhagavatpAda refers to hastAmalaka as guru. http://geocities.com/snsastri/hastasans.pdf On this aspect, it may be remembered that Shankara may be following the tradition set by kumArila-bhatta (a great mImAMsaka), who called prabhAkara (another great mImAMsaka) as guru, while the latter was the former's disciple!

SANKARA Acharya said that group of symbols is a word and expression of these words is creation. However, mature logical ideology may be still it is partial and different from the real. Negation of all psychological impressions is to be wise. sekhar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Dear Sri Ramakrishna Ji, Namaste. Thanks a lot for the response. > According to the translation by Shri Sastri-ji, Shankara bhagavatpAda > refers to hastAmalaka as guru. > http://geocities.com/snsastri/hastasans.pdf > > On this aspect, it may be remembered that Shankara may be following > the tradition set by kumArila-bhatta (a great mImAMsaka), who called > prabhAkara (another great mImAMsaka) as guru, while the latter was the > former's disciple! Yes, I read that article by Sri Sastri-ji. Of course, Sri Shankara refers to Hastamalakacharya himself as Guru in the Upodghata of Hastamalakeeyam. He says: " The Acharya (Hastamalaka is referred here as Acharya, by Acharya Shankara himself), therefore, teaches the knowledge of the Self. " Saying thus, he started the Bhasya for the slokas of Hastamalakacharya. In the Sloka # 5, he quotes a sloke from elsewhere. The sloka is: bhudhi-indriya-shariirebhyo bhinna aatma vibhur-dhruvaH nanaroopaH prati-kshetram-aatma vrittishu bhasate. Meaning: The Atman is different from the Intellect, Senses and the body. It is Omnipresent and Eternal. It is seen as many in every body. This Atman reflects in the Intellect. I want the reference for this. It is not one of the slokas in Hastamalakeeyam. It is from elsewhere. With regards, Anupam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is from elsewhere. Namaste Shri Anupam -ji I do not know the source of this reference. As you may have also noticed, there is strong similarity of this verse with the terminology of panchadasi, but we have to remove that for obvious reasons!

Namaste, The verse is probably from some text that is 'lost', but well-known over several centuries both before and after Shankara. The following references are interesting: from Bhojadeva's Tattvaprakasha (@11th cent. AD) quoting Shiva Purana - Bhojadeva is said to have followed Shaiva Siddhanta - http://muktalib5.org/DL_CATALOG/TEXTS/ETEXTS/tattvaprakasaHK.txt buddhIndriyazarIrebhyo vyatirikto vibhurdhruvaH | ........... (zi0 pu0 vA0 1|5|43-44) ---------------------------- from Vedanta Desikan's Nyayasiddhanjana ((also @10th cent. AD) homepage3.nifty.com/indology/NyayaSiddhanjana.pdf p.288 dehendriyamanaHprANAdhibhyo.anyao.ananya sAdhanaH | nityo vyApI pratikShetram AtmA bhinnaH svataHsukhI || Regards, Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
