[Advaita-l] Fwd: Brahman has no default form; Only contextual form - Varaha Purana

[V Subrahmanian]

In my earlier post the Sanskrit parts were erroneously copied by me.  The
correct reading is shown here:

तथा च अप्राकृतपदेन प्राकृतविलक्षणमायोपाधिकत्वेन....   If anyone can
elucidate this line that would help....

He says this in the gloss for the Siddhi's words: अत एव
'अरूपतोऽप्राकृतश्चे'ति स्मृत्यैवारूपश्रुतिगत्युक्तेः...(Pariccheda 2
ananthakrishna Sastry edition page 744)
