1. The topic of discussion was kAsi yAtrA which I said is to symbolize the pursuit of learning and not saMnyAsa.

2. I am not sure what you mean by Rishi continues to call him zudra..? Raikva accepts the daughter of janasruti and teaches janasruti the saMvarga/prAna vidhya, how everything in this Universe goes back to vAyu. One who learns no longer is a zudra. If you give specific reference of verses, it will help me to have a better understanding.

3. You are right that sage Yajnavalkya says in Janaka's court that he bows to the best scholar in the court but wish to have the thousand cows from Janaka. But that's a debate between scholars of Janaka's court, where Yajnavalkya answers questions of Janaka and Asvala.

In Raikva's case, Jansruti wants to be a disciple of Raikva and asked him to teach the knowledge that Raikva acquired. In Yajnavalkya's case, Yajnvalkya answers specific questions asked by Asvala and Janaka.

Raikva - Janasruti is teacher teaching student. Yajnavalkya-Asvala-Janaka and his courtiers is PhD viva.

4. Sukha in some puranas, follows Asrama dharma with four sons and a daughter.

5. I am not saying the story on Sankara happened or not. But going from brahmacharya to samnyAsa asrama is influence of buddha (in my view). It's a later day addition.

6. kAsi has been the place of learning for thousands of years. It's the ultimate destination of learning. We have IIT's but still people prefer to do masters in MIT, Princeton etc.. right..?
