    Thanks  for your clarification. This is one of the points which
  adiyEn didn't mention clearly. Since there were so many intricate
  details, adiyEn just gave a brief notes from the works of
  Uttamoor swAmi and referred to His original texts for those
   who want to know more precisely. But, adiyEn then moved
  onto the description of ViSAkha yoopa and its connection
   with caturAtma.

  adiyEn doesn't have the bAshya on mANdUkya Upanishad and
  hence couldn't get hold of the exact philosophical problem in hand
  and its relationship with the question posed. adiyEn merely
  touched upon some of the things from Uttamoor swAmi's works
  on this issue.

  Thanks once again for pointing out the actual crux of the
  question. Awaiting  your future posts on this thread.
