Shri V. Subrahmanian writes:

 

A short study of three passages from the Brahmasutra Bhashya of Sri

Shankaracharya is taken up with a view to determine the Bhashyakara's intent

with regard to the usage of the terms `avidyA' and `mAyA'. In this study, the

standard, authoritative, traditional sub-commentaries `bhAShya ratna prabhA'(by

Govindananda Sarasvati) and `nyAya nirNaya' (by Anandagiri) are consulted in

deriving the purport of the passages of the Bhashya. The study assumes value in

view of the fact that the method adopted in the tradition, 'sampradAya', handed

down to the present day, in the teaching and practice of Shankara's commentaries

and works is adhered to.
