Andrea Acri has written about this, and I have downloaded the relevant article from his academia.edu page and attach it here.
See p. 578 environ, and Andrea may be right that I (and several others) might be wrong about whether Śaṅkara was known in the Valley around this time.
Food for thought.
As Ever,
John

Take a look at my new book:
Dear Harry,
> Was the existence of Śaṅkarācārya and/or his writings known in 10th century Kashmir?
To my knowledge, Śaṅkara played no role in Kashmir at that time. Maṇḍanamiśra was seen as the representative of Advaita Vedānta. Significantly, the Mokṣopāya addresses and quotes Maṇḍana's theory of error (khyāti
[Vibhramaviveka]) in Mokṣopāya VI.325.1–10 (the current volume), adopting "Vasiṣṭha's" inclusivistic approach by redefining the
ātmakhyāti of the Yogācāra school in his own terms. As so often, he tells a parable to illustrate his point (śilopākhyāna, VI.32511–40).
Regards,
Walter
Dear Walter,
My congratulations also on this impressive accomplishment.

Contrary to a still-prevailing misconception, the 10th-century
Mokṣopāya from Kashmir has nothing at all to do with Śaṅkara's Advaitavedānta . . .
Was the existence of Śaṅkarācārya and/or his writings known in 10th century Kashmir?
Thanks,
