I never said that it is the view of VS.

I am not sure if you read the entire post. The manifestation of sat is not
the way it is in jAgRt and svapna. That is the contrast shown. If it is the
same in all three states, there is no parIkShA needed. The statement for
analysis is sukhamaham asvApsam, not sadahamasvApsam. Just by aham being
there, sat and chit cannot be brought in. The aham is not recollected the
way sukham is. There are so many such analytical flaws that can shown in
each avasthA then. And every aspect can be established in any
avasthA. Ananda can be established in jAgRt itself and then we won't need
to analyse suShupti at all. The idea is to contrast it across states; that
is why you have to read prAyeNa there.

I was not aware of anything ( else ) shows that I was aware of the veiling

As above.

I don't think there will be a long discussion even if you point of anything
you find as an issue. I am also unable to participate in discussions, but I
did want to share this post and quickly reply, when possible.
