Dear Bhagavatas, I humbly submit the following to the forum for discussion; S'abda is a dravya that inheres as an attribute in the five elements. The elements come about when prakriti evolves from its subtle state, due to Isvara's sankalpa. 1. Is S'abda in a dormant sate in the time between dissolution and creation? If so, given Sruti is represented by a modification of S'abda, what is its status during the time between creation and dissolution? 2. Is BrahmajNAna, independent of S'abda? Adiyen, Venkat
