I was bit hurried as I was in tight official schedule 😊 My question is very simple, is the mithyA vastu deserved to be called as anirvachaneeya ( IOW an exception to law of excluded middle). For the anirvachaneeyatvaM shankara gives the example of foam / water, can this be compared with Kalpita jneya vastu due to adhyAsa?? Further to explain this : anirvachaneeyatva occurs only when both the kAraNa and the kArya are simultaneously perceived (like mrudghata) either by direct perception or through the shAstra. On the other hand mithyA is related to the wrong perception of an object. During the bhrAnti samaya we have a deterministic knowledge that it is satya (though it is bhrAnti jnAna) and after realizing the existing thing we realize that it was just our mithyA jnAna. At what stage do we think that there was / is / will be an anirvachaneeya vastu existing ?? that too when it is proven that it was just mere Kalpita jneya vastu due to adhyAsa. Neither dviteeya Chandra nor sarpa exist to explain it as a sadasadanirvachaneeya mithyA vastu just coz. sarpa and dviteeya Chandra mithyA jnAna is sublated.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
