Abstract
In a recent response to my feature review of his book Accomplishing the Accomplished: The Veda as a Source of Valid Knowledge in Sankara (see Philosophy East and West 43 [4] and 44 [4]), Professor Anantanand Rambachan has addressed my reservations regarding his thesis that the Vedas are the (p. 67) valid means of knowledge of Brahman according to Sankara, reservations that stemmed from a consideration of his thesis in the light of Sahkara's gloss on Brahmasotra 1.3.38 and 1.1.2. 1 appreciate his response for the opportunity it offers to test this very attractive thesis further in the light of his comments, and also to view it not only textually but also contextually, keeping in mind Sarkara's views on the nature of Brahman, the implications of describing the fundamental problem as one of avidya and the adequacy of the word-generated knowledge of sruti to resolve this problem.
