In the Mandukyopanishad, 7th mantra, occurs the term: prapanchopashamam. In
this bhashya, Shankara explains that term as:
प्रपञ्चोपशममिति जाग्रदादिस्थानधर्माभाव उच्यते । (In Turiya Brahman, there
is the absence of the domain of the three states of waking etc.) In the
Gaudapada Karika 2.35 Bhashya, Shankara says the following for the term:
वीतरागभयक्रोधैर्मुनिभिर्वेदपारगैः ।
निर्विकल्पो ह्ययं दृष्टः *प्रपञ्चोपशमो*ऽद्वयः ॥ ३५ ॥
प्रपञ्चोपशमः, प्रपञ्चो द्वैतभेदविस्तारः, तस्योपशमोऽभावो यस्मिन् , स आत्मा
प्रपञ्चोपशमः,
prapancha = the expansive differentiated duality. This is not there in
Turiya.
