fifth indefinable something (vacanaprakara) is attributed by Appayyadrksita 92 to Anandabbdha in a specific manner. Citsukha De, in his Tattvapradipidnotices the view of Vimuktatman and Anandabodha, criticises them and holds that Advaita in the strict sense of the term, makes it necessary to equate Adityaniurti with the absolute Athman realised as such ("Nirttirand idhya jiattoहैrbpalakitah " 10).
