Padma Para expanded on what we were studying, Dhadhya Sabarshev. What he said forms the basis of what Manidrabi Shastri has been saying in all those 26, 27 pages. He went on a pilgrimage and carried his book with him, his sub commentary on Shankaracharya's commentary on the Brahma Sutras. His uncle put drugs in Padma Para's food so that he gets amnesia and he forgets his book. So I'm so sorry, your great life's work is now lost forever. But don't worry uncle, I had memorized the whole thing. So desolate, he goes back to Shankara Charya
Adhyasa Bhashya is Adi Shankara’s introduction to the Brahma Sutras. Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a brief overview of this commentary, over three sessions.
