...Bhasya.

It should be noted that there are more Madhva works on the Isavasya than are to be seen here: see the collection of Shanbhag [DNS82], which we have used as one of our sources (others being [BG69] and [DP97]). We have just included the ones that are most important, to keep the total task feasible considering our limitations of time and other resources.

...grammar

Very briefly, the ``identity texts'' have to be taken, under Advaitic interpretation, to signify not that there is identity between the living individual and the Supreme at the present time, but that such identity will be seen to exist when the illusion of the world of plurality is sublated. However, this interpretation is opposed to the `lat pratyaya,' given the grammatical aphorism vartamane lat of Panini which would require that only identity under present conditions be the purport of verse 17 and also other texts such as aham brahmasmi. As such a purport cannot be entertained, the status of identity texts qua identity texts is inadmissible.
