[INDOLOGY] The universe as an image in a mirror

[Nagaraj Paturi]

Sri Harry-ji ,

Is your question related to the authorship of Dakṣināmūrtistotram ?

Is the question centred around whether S'ankarāchārya is its author or not?

Isn't your question "Does  this metaphor of the world as an image in a
mirror only appear in Kashmir Shaivite writings?" imply that if it isn't the
distinct feature of Kashmir Shaivism,  Amarhath Rai's rejection of
S'ankara's authorship on the basis of this image in the stotram is not
tenable?

Till now , did you get any message confirming that it is the distinct
feature of Kashmir Shaivism ?
