No, Sharma said Mahayana "elaborated" and "developed" the ideas of the Upanishads and that Gaudapada was then "influenced" by Mahayana

You are backpedalling hard because you endorsed Hirst, the best book on Shankara according to YOU, which says that Shankara is a cryptobuddhist. Like every other book, even Sharma. Just like Shankara, when he became a cryptobuddhist nihilist, you defeated yourself.

Also you used to say Olivelle was the best translator and writer on the Upanishads and he says Advaita is not in the Upanishads. You used to say the same thing about Muller too and he says the Upanishads are not Advaita too. All your favorite authors betray you. You should just admit, like your favorite book Hirst does, that Shankara is a cryptobuddhist.
