Swami rerplied: The second probability seems to be correct because the dead body in the cave disappeared on the third day. Jesus also had told that He will raise the church (body) on the third day. It seems that Jesus traveled from that place to Himalayas and toured India preaching the noble concepts and left His body in His 85th year. A similar controversy exists in the life of Shankara also. Some say that He lived up to 32 years only like Jesus. Some others say that He lived up to 85 years as per His verse. Shankara is also said to have been killed by Kapalikas in 32nd year through black magic. But He must have overcome it and lived up to 85 years. Both these personalities were important for the world to bring a real reformation in the divine knowledge. God must have extended their lives due to such a necessity. Whatever may be the history, we should be more worried about practicing the concepts of their spiritual knowledge. The historical significance is of no use to our practical spiritual path.
