Objet : Re: [INDOLOGY] Mokṣopāya completed

Dear Harry, Walter, and All,

Andrea Acri has written about this, and I have downloaded the relevant article 
from his academia.edu page and attach it here.

See p. 578 environ, and Andrea may be right that I (and several others) might 
be wrong about whether Śaṅkara was known in the Valley around this time.

Food for thought.

As Ever,
John

To my knowledge, Śaṅkara played no role in Kashmir at that time. Maṇḍanamiśra 
was seen as the representative of Advaita Vedānta. Significantly, the Mokṣopāya 
addresses and quotes Maṇḍana's theory of error (khyāti [Vibhramaviveka]) in 
Mokṣopāya VI.325.1–10 (the current volume), adopting "Vasiṣṭha's" inclusivistic 
approach by redefining the ātmakhyāti of the Yogācāra school in his own terms. 
As so often, he tells a parable to illustrate his point  (śilopākhyāna, 
VI.32511–40).

Regards,
Walter

Dear Walter,

My congratulations also on this impressive accomplishment.

You wrote:


Contrary to a still-prevailing misconception, the 10th-century Mokṣopāya from 
Kashmir has nothing at all to do with Śaṅkara's Advaitavedānta  . . .


Was the existence of  Śaṅkarācārya and/or his writings known in 10th century 
Kashmir?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
