Thanks. If we were to explain this independant of panchadashi or other recent works and rely solely on Shankaras works, i wonder how itd turn out. This is mainly because Vidyaranya does not even favour avaccheda vada (or so it seems) and uses his own reasoning.

 Thanks
 for the clarification. I request some pointers regarding :
 (1) Mention of mathakasha or its equivalent and (2) Ishwaras
 maya being shuddha sattva and jivas is malina sattva.
 
 No.2 is clearly mentioned in the
 Panchadashi and several other
 commentaries.  
 
 
 Will be grateful for any help in this regard. And another
 question is that even if the pot breaks, the mansion-space
 remains as it is. How to resolve this?

  In the
 
  context of avaccheda vada, how is mathakasha any
 different
 
  from ghatakasha as both are upadhis? We can simply say
 jiva
 
  is ghatakasha and ishwara is brihadghatakasha. But that
 
  would mean ishwara too has avidya.
 
 
 
  No, this would not mean Ishwara has
 
  avidya. All the avaccheda-s are due to Maya.  This maya
 is
 
  further seen as shuddha sattva (Ishvara) and malina
 sattva
 
  (jiva).   
 
 
 
 
 
  Thanks for panchadashi reference but Vidyaranya is
 using
 
  another version of reflection theory and not
 delimitation
 
  theory.
 
 
 
  Yes. I had realized that even when I
 
  stated that reference.

  Any reference from Shankara/Gaudapada or other 9th
 century
 
  Advaitins like Vachaspati? Thanks
