[Advaita-l] AvidyA as per BG 13-2 -- Discussion with AI

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Namaste Chandramouliji
Thank you for the discussion with generative AI. May I ask which engine you
used?

The key passage which you discussed āvaraṅātmaka avidyā being the cause
of even agrahaNa is noteworthy and it’s beyond the framework of SSS.
(In the same BG13.2 context, Shankara continues from where you left off **
तामसो �ह प्रत्ययः,

आवरणात्मकत्वात् अ�वद्या �वपर�तग्राहकः, संशयोपस्थापको वा, अग्रहणात्मको वा *)
