I think the reasoning is in accordance with niyOga vAda and not bhAvanA
vAda.


I am not sure about this, as what I said in the email was from Sri MDS'
talk, which was an exposition on the bhATTa rahasya of khaNDa deva. The

 I just wanted to bring it to your attention since you showed interest in
the topic. That is all.


Thank you.

Venkatraghavan
