From this flows the different literature on Advaita. Advaita literature can be broadly classified under two categories. First, those which strengthen the arguments in the Sutra Bhashya. Second , those which are independent works defending the tenets of Advaita involving a debative style. The first category again contains two important branches. One is by Padmapada (sishya of Bhagavadpada) in Panchapadika, which has a commentary by Prakasatman(1200 AD) in Vivarana which again has a commentary by Akhandananda (1350 AD) in his Tatvadipana. This is called the Vivarana school. The second is by Vachaspatimishra (840 AD) in his Bhamati,which has a commentary by Amalananda (1260 AD) in his Kalpataru, which again has a commentary by Appayya Dikshita (1600 AD) in his Parimala. This is called the Bhamati school. These two differ in some aspects of reasoning adopted in explaining the multiplicity while strengthening Advaitic point of view. The second category contains three important independent works defending Advaitic concepts. These are highly dialectical in nature. 1) Khandana -khanda-Khadya by Sri Harsha (1200 AD) 2) Citsukhi by Citsukhacharya (13th century AD) 3) Advaitasiddhi by Madhusudana Saraswati (16th century AD). Advaitasiddhi, unlike the other independent works is a verbatim rejoinder to the arguments by Vyasathirtha (16th century AD) of the Dwaita philiosophy. There are three other important siddhi works - Brahmsiddhi, Naishkarmyasiddhi and Ishtasiddi, dealing with what, how and why of Brahman. Madhusudana Saraswati is a Sanyasi, of 16th Century, probably from Bengal and is a great devotee of Sri Krishna as a child. He is said to be contemporary of Gadhadara and Goswami. His important other works are: 1. Siddantabindu 2. Advaitaratnaraksana 3. Vedantakalpalatika 4. Samksepasarirakasara samgraha 5. Gitagudhartadipika 6. Bhaktirasayana Advaitasiddhi contains four Paricchedas, nearly 108 topics. The first one with 60 topics and has taken two thirds of the work, dealing mainly with Mithyatva. The second is about Brahman, third Sadana and the fourth Pala. An attempt has been made in the booklet to give the Siddantas in Madhusudana's own words with the English translation. Page No. in the edition of Parimal Publications has been given at the end of each quotation. For ready reference, a note on each of Logic and Grammar is given in Appendix I and II. This is the seventh publication in the Vandanam series, previous ones are Sandya vandanam, Devata vandanam, Guru vandanam, Gita vandanam, Upanishad vandanam and Nama vandanam. 10 This publication was possible only after my full-text study under Dr. R. Krishnamurthy Sastrigal, Principal Sanskrit College, Mylapore, Chennai, who has spent considerable lot of his precious time in teaching especially as I have not studied separately Grammar and Logic in the traditional detailed way. My thanks are due to him in no small measure. My thanks are also due to Mr, S.V.S.Sastry and Mr, V. Swaminatha Sastrigal for scrutinising the draft and for suggesting corrections in the translation. I am also indebted to Dr. K. Ramasubramanian for hisd suggestions and the get up and Mr. Sateesha for his help in proof reading. The work would not have been easy but for my newphew Mr, Sivasankar and his son Arun who have made computer literate i n a short time and my thanks are due to them. 11 Stotras of Madhusudana Saraswati :R;R"tº61:R1Y1R:U#:Y@RX16_6bRF;A1;ER5AU#R1:"FU1?#RW12R#0.4T$RW'<:2;R854>4V55W5 6<:R553X"1R5R1:":Q:RWD\6_RªÒ>A>;\>);1W>@0U>]"º6RWt)*1 1.

Proof Of Non-Reality Of World (Non-Reality Is Different From Being And Unbeing) 1. The word non-reality means "indeterminability" according to the author of Panchapadika .What is not the locus of being and unbeing (opposite of being) is indeterminable. 2. The character of absolute absence of being as well as the character of absolute absence of unbeing is non-reality. There is no defect in the definition with these two characteristics as intended. Notes: 1. The above definition also indicates that non-reality is not the combination of both Sat and Sat. 2. Padmapada, the author of Panchapadika, was a student of Sankara. 3. Sat = absolute reality Asat = absolute un-reality (opposite of reality) 4 . Definition of Non-reality Author work First Padmapada Second & Third Prakasatman Fourth Chitsukha Fifth Anandabhoda 5.

Second Definition of Non-reality 1. Non-realty is the character of the counter-positive of the negation for all three times (past, present and future) in an object where it appears. 2. In the present case, the negation of the world (counter-positive) is equally negated, with the negation of the negation, the world does not become real.

Third Definition Of Non-Reality 1. Non-reality means the character of being sublated by knowledge. 2. It has been said by the Vartikakara: . As soon as the valid cognition is generated by the statement, "That thou art", nescience with its effects becomes non-existent in the past , does not exist at present and will not exist in the future.

Fourth Definition Of Non-Reality 1, The non-reality of a thing is its character of being the counter-positive of the absolute negation residing in its own locus. 2, That it appears where it does not exist. 17 Notes" In the second definition, the negation is in the locus where it appears. In the fourth definition , it appears where the negation is. 66+': :2;R1>=D0:Q A>x1>:Q>R:2;R1>:Q ÌGR6ÌA154]:]"W8__¯0'Ì1>;Rª>R<0R;A1>W56_1T;:R51>\>?W@0\3W;:Q 7. Fifth Definition Of Non-Reality 1. Non-reality is being different from the real. 2.

Non-Reality Of The Non-Reality 1. Objection: When the said non-reality itself is non-real, then the world may become real.--------when the non-reality is real, then also, the world can be real; in both cases, the non-dualism will get affected.. 2. Reply: No; They have the same grade of being (existence) and hence along with the sublation of the non-reality , the world also is sublated; so non-dualism does not get affected. Notes: the logic for the negation of the world and the non-reality is one and the same ie, different from Brahman. ?;1>BW1V66H 18 :2;R1>WAR4;WBW1V"Y1\;Y?;1>\136;U66R35T;:Q ?U\B8_¯5?;:Q >A1U1A1U?83Ì)5;>YH>@;1>:W>?;1>:Q ;RA6_"R<">YH>@;1>:W>?;1>:Q 9.Compatibility of Cognisability as cause 1, What is cognisability , the reason for non-reality, has to be explained. 2.

In the nonreality of the identification of soul-body which is sublated only by the knowledge of Brahman, the upadhi is not concomitant with the probandum. (sadhya). Notes: Adventious condition (Upadhi) is one of the five fallacies of reason (Hetu Aabhasa) in a syllogism. It means that the Upadhi while concomitant with the Probandum (sadhya) but is not concomitant with the probans (hetu). 20 ÌR9RAAR:;9m 55U >:1\6_R19RA":Q?;1>R1Q?Ut·HÁ6;>1Q 8_¯:2;R>;>BR<>@;1>R1Q?U·HÁ6;>1QÒ1 'W1QQ 5 ?;1>R3T5R\5ÌR9RAAR:;:Q)$1>;R>BRS<"A1>8R4W>;>BR<Ì5U66H8_¯0:2;R1>W ?V5;>R3R6H 14.

(3) Like shellsilver. 2..Reply: No. Cognisability etc are not similar to pseudo inferences. 3.. Because when the empirical reality of the world is sublated, activity is not possible.

If the same is so of the insentient world, it is compatible that the world is non-real in its form by its self-luminosity which is contradictory to insentience, just like the silver by the exitence of shell which is contradictory to silver. . 6_1;D6_R8º;9m 55UÍ·H5;R;X6_1;DA;Í6)T>;1>W56_R8º;:Q1À$_B0W1W58R4?'Ò1'W1Q 5Í6)T>;Ì><RW4R1Q 12RB;1A>Á6\Í6)T>;1W11Q58R4;1W8R4;1W'1Rt1>"1>R"R< A'5Í6)T>;1W"R<01>W1A;Ì6_>W?R1Q 6<TDRB6_>YHA\>R3>A\>R3Ì9R>3RW@Ì9R>ÌR3Á6R1;R'A>A:R53W?"R=T5>@;Ì8R4;1>\ 6_R:R0;A;>;>A2R6;1W4V:W5A>A:R53W?"R=T5>5\BS<> 12R'>;>BR<3?R:RGÌ8R4;1>\3WBR1:X·;AR4R<0\6<TD16_:R0W>;>tA21:QÒ1"2:QÌ1;51 Ì8R4;1>Ì9R>$_RB"ÌR$:Ì5U:R5;RW6_>YH5A;R1Q! 1A:R1Q>?>RA6_:R013R9RA>;>A2R)T>W?9W3R3"\'>;R>BRS<":QÒ1Í66¿:W>A>^)$1Q :2;W1 16. Refutation Of "Superior Validity Of Perception" 1. Objection: Perception which is depended upon is stronger, When it is contradictory it is sublated by perception. 2. Reply: No; it is not contradictory to that which is being depended upon, The form which is depended upon is not sublated, Only its ultimate validity is sublated. That is not depended upon, as it does not enter into the cause. 3. The examination is in the form of (a) of fruitfulness whenacted (b) absence of fruitlessness (c) absence of defects.. By that the validity is established of the nonsublation of an object of same place and time - like the fire of same place and time by the smoke. 4. Like wise, only in the empirical state, the non-sublation is established of the ordinary body-Atman identity after examining the means of knowledge. How then can it be not possible for Sruti and inference not to function since they negate the absolute reality of the world. 22 not be of the ground for Sruti and inference which negates the absolute reality of the world. 5. Therefore, the establishment of the validity and its semblance, as also the duality of Jiva and God are of empirical nature. So it is compatible that the entire world is non-real.

Sublatability Of Perception By Inference 1 .Moreover, Inference also sublates cognition when it is supported by the disproval of the counter-example. 2.

Therefore alone, the Srutis describing Brahman with qualities and with the world are sublated by the Srutis describing Brahman without qualities and without world 3. It is said by Anandacharya. Since it refers to the purport, comes after and Vedic text is free from defect it sublates the former; like the sentence "this is not a snake". Notes: Apaccheda Nyaya of Poorva Mimamsa Sastra means that what follows is more powerful than what went before. >>t5B?X1; Ì Ì5U:1AR:; 99m 55U;36_1;D8R41:QÌ6Ì5U:R5\AR4;W1Q13R>t5BÌ5RX@0;:QÌ6AR4;W1Q :X>\>ÀR2]$_RSB1>W5>?W@R1Q6_1;DAÌ;):R51>ÌRX@0;R3>1Q?83=m$_RÅ;):R51>Ì5RX@0;R}6 >;R>BRS<":1A:1>R1Q6_1;DW08R4;1W6_"Y1W1UA1>\>;R>BRS<"\6_1;DA\1À\'5:2;R1>:Q 1A;6R<:R2]"A1>><RW4R1Q 20.

The person having t he character of non-Yajamana and the presence of heat in fire which are perceptions (Pratyaksha) and the person having the character of Yajamana and the absence of heat in fire (sound and probans) -both are empirical (vyavaharika) - so they are sublated. But in the present case, they are empirical reality and non-reality which are not contradictory. It is contradictory to absolute reality. 24 6_1;DA; =mR}8R4;1>W88R4":Q "\'6<TD11>W5X>6_R8º;\5Í6)T>;1>W5 12RBØÒ3\<)1\ØÒ16_1;DA;Ì5U:R5ÌRª>'5R9;R\59RW5Xº;6_1;DA;5TÁ61>$_RB"Ì5U:R5W5 Ø$RX<RWWB\ØÒ1;A;ØÌB:QÒBX>RtA:A35W)R5R5ØÒ1;A;'5Ç6_R3W?"1>6_1;DA;'Ì5U:R5ÌR$:R9;R\Ø6T1?lØ Ø1·HRW$U.ØÒ1;R3W?'Ì5U:R5ÌRª>'5R9;R\8R4RW?;1W Ï"G6_R:R0;5?';W8=R8='51R;RÏ>Ì5>"R?R1Q 21.

Thus - the perceptions, "this is silver", "sky is blue", "I am fair", "I am in this house", "the moon disc is the size of six inches", "the conch is yellow", "Jaggery is bitter", etc are sublated by inference, friend's word, verbal testimony etc. This is seen. 3. Where the validity is to be established in the same place, there is no question of the thought of its strength or weakness. 99RR>> 88R4RW66H Ï>\'Ø9R>8R45?';R1Q'ØÒ1;3Nx\136Í66¿:W> 6_"R<R51<W0Ì8R41A;'5Ç6_R3W?"1>6_1;DA;;2RÌR$:W58R412R6_"R<R51<W0Ì8R41A; ØA5Q%,ØÒ1;R36_1;DA;:2;R1>8RW4"ÌR$:W58R4Ò150];R1Q 22.

Refutation Of Inference Of Absolute Reality Of The Empirical World 1, It is said in Samkshepasariraka: The indivisible consciousness alone is the locus and object of nescience. What came after nescience cannot be its locus or object. 2. The superimposition due to nescience is not in need of any further superimposition. It is compatible that it is capable of managing itself and all other superimpositions. 3. Like this, the six reasons for the absolute reality of the world have been rejected.

Justification Of Sublation By Srutis 1. Objection: Let there be sublation by Srutis: 1 The universe is real. by the Srutis. - that which is regarded as real is not useless. For eternity, hr created things in reality. 2.. They (ill-guided) declare the world to be un-real, unstable and without God.. 3. The perception of the world cannot be regarded as dream as there is dissimilarity By these the reality of the Universe has been established. 1. Reply: The Sruti has not this import. ....(a)...Viswam = all praise , Satyam = exact ...since it relates to praise, it has no import on the reality of the world. (b). What Indra understands to be done now is real and is not a waste.. (c).The sentence is no evidence of the reality of the world. Its meaning is creation according to previous creation and not in the reality of the world or in its creation. (d). For me who advocates difference from reality and have accepted difference from unreality in the world, there is no contradiction in this Smriti. (e) . Meaning of Sutra. Na Abhavah = "Things (pot etc) have no existence other than knowledge" - This is not valid because in the empirical state, they have their existence for its fruitfulness and action. . Upalabdeh = because they are cognised different from knowledge. The sentence on the difference in nature like dream etc, is to show the adjunct which is sublatable. Therefore the previous logic is defective because of sublatability and also with the adjunct.

Non-Real is Capable of Proof 1; Objection: that which prove the reality is stronger than the inferences that prove their non-reality. 2.Reply: No; the subjects for the establishment of the non-reality teach the non-reality; yet there is no contradiction, because they do not relate to the reality which cannot be sublated for all periods of time. 3. In fact, empirical reality , cognised or non-cognised is the criteria for proving. It is not sublatable by any knowledge other than that of Brahman; nor does it necessarily involve non-reality.

Sublation of "Non-real cannot prove" 1. In the reflection. the character of establishing the original is there, Although it is existent as the original, it is not there in the form of the reflection; absolute reality is not the criteria for its establishment. Similarly, though things in the dream are not existent, they indicate the oncoming auspiciousness and inauspiciousness.(which are true) 2. There is no contradiction; in the Sruti - How can real come from unreal:- in the Sutra"Not from unreal, because it is seen" -in the Bhashya "From hare's horn etc., creation of reality is not seen". Because their purport is to deny creation from absolute unreality (un-existent) 29 3, We have not said that absolute unreality can have the character of creation. $?;A\854 99m "Q?;A\854R5U66HW 1A:R1QA1;1>WA\854R5U66HWÌR4;RA"Ï>$?;;RWA\854Ò1 28. Refutation Of The Cogniser-Cognised Relation 1.

Proof Of Favourable Logic 1 There is sublation because of non-cognition of the pervasive reality relation. Hence the pervasiveness of the reality relation is the absence of difference in time and place. That is not present like knowledge etc., which are of the past things; so, how then can they have reality relation. 2... Therefore, if it is absolutely real, the incompatibility of the relation between cogniser and cognised is strong. 66_1":] >>;>A2R 12RBÌ51"<0\'DU>]1Q1W)RW>;>1cÒ53_;R<W011A\;U·H\>@;\>;R6;13R"R<\9>1;2R5}R}U3"\ 6_0RÊR5AY1;"W3R<R}R"R<\9>1AX>>YHS<1;U';1W1G)T>'X15;\Ì>}RW6R4"\A1QA>]$1\Ì51"<0RW6R4"\ A1Q6S<(¿:1:1;\1GÌR}W>@;6_"R?"\)T>'X15;:Q1T;W8_¯'X15;:Q 30 13;:G5@"@];}6>W@;6_"R?"\ >@;R4R59V1\ 6_:WW;'X15;\ Ì51"<0R>'(¿'X15;\ 1U 1A;6_:R1Y Ì51"<0>YHÌ>t'(¿'X15;\ 1U 6_:R0\ 12R6;3T;R51"<0>YH;R>@;6;]51\ 'DU<R3R<R5AAY1;R ;16_"R?"\ 'X15;\ ;16_:R1Y 'X15;R9W3W5 Ì9>;);1W 1:W> A Ï> )R5R1 5RR5;\ 5R5;RW >R Ì1 Ï> Ï">YH;U6RÁ/=D0Ï"=RW=T9R>R6¿\ 6_:R1Y6_:R06_:W;'X15;\ 9>1 11 13>'(W3W5 ÌER55>YH;R 5>YH;R 9RA:R5\6_:W;'X15;\Ì6<RWD\7=\Ò1;U';1W G;R0R\Ï"=RW=T9R>WÌ6<RWD1>\;RWÏ"=RW=T9R>W1U6<RWD1>:15Ak< 30. Pratikarma-vyavastha 1. Just like the eye, the mind also is the effect of fire. . It through the sense organs pervades and become the object to which it is connected ,. just like the water in the river though canals flows out and takes the form of the field; this is called the modification (vritti) of the mind. There are two schools. The Self- Consciousness, nescience as its adjunct, is all pervasive; with mind as its adjunct, it is limited. There the first is the Jiva Chaitanya which illumines objects; in the second it is the Brahman Chaitanya. 2. Here, the clarification is as follows:- Although the consciousness which has its locus in the object and makes the object cognised (1), the mind-adjunct-consciousness is its cogniser (2) and the mind-modification-limited consciousness is the cognition.(3), still one becomes to know that object only, not any other and not anybody else; who by his modification of the mind reaches the object which becomes known by that consciousness and becomes non-different from the cogniser-consciousness. Therefore, the cogniser-cognition-cognised consciousness become one in the form of the modification of the mind. Therefore by the removal of ignorance conditioned by it , the cogniser-consciousness glows and it is called immediate knowledge. In the first case, it is Jiva who illumines the object; in the second, it is Brahman 3. When the three (cogniser-cognised-cognition) becomes one, it is called immediate.(direct) when two becomes one it is called mediate.(indirect) Therefore , there is no convergence. 66_1"V=1"] 5<R"<0:Q >?>\ ;3 "tº61\ A;R1Q A1;R4R5\ A;R1Q 5 'X>\ AR:R5;1RW ER11>W A1 ÌER1>?W@>1>A; Ì4R51> 6_;RW)"A;5>]?W@W5AAR:R5;W'8_¯0ÌA\9>R1QÒ1'W1Q5 A>Á6W0ER11>WA1>?W@W0ÌER11>A;Ì4R51>6_;RW)"1>W5ÌER1>?W@>1>A;Ì6_;RW)"1>R1Q 5Ì4;A11>WÍ16H;R}5U66HÌ54;A1A;©R6Í16H;R}?]5W5Ì4;A11>A;X>13N66R3"1>R1QA1"R;]>R3 ÌA1"R;]>R35@W4W5Ì5>]'5T;"R;]>R3:RGW"R;]"R<09R>6;]>AR5R1Q13W>\"Y1£A;6_6bA;Ì;W8_¯0"º65R Í66HW56_1"V=1"]6<RB1 31 31. Refutation Of Counter-Reasoning 1. Objection: If the world is imaginary, then Brahman (sat) must be the substratum; this is not so ; that which is known in general, and has unknown special qualities is the character of substratum; and this is not possible in Brahman, as it has neither special nor general qualities. 2. Reply: this is not true. When it is generally known but particularly unknown is the criteria for the nature of the substratum,, and not having the unknown special qualities.. 3. There is no incompatibility of creation etc., when there is the character of superimposition. Nowhere the creation is seen when there is no superimposition, its character alone is the cause. By the negation of "real-effect" and "unreal-effect theories" the theory of "indeterminability-effect" only remains true. Thus , the superimposition of the entire world on the non-dual Brahman is compatible and there is no disproof by the opposite logic. Notes: Real effect means that pot exists in the mud even before its production. Unreal effect means that pot does not exist before production. :2;R1>FU1;U66H 55UFU1;R6_1;DR3A11AH>RW6)T>5W5'8_¯W1<A"=:2;R1>RAS 56_1;DR3WA1UÌ1RW;1Q8R4;1W1Rt1>"1>\1¿RW6)T>;\;cRW6)T>;\Ì2]"_;RAR:2;]=D0 >;R>BRS<"6_R:R0;\1c58R4;1WÒ1"\"W5A\m1:Q 1A:R1QÏ":W>Ì1T;:QÒ1;R3FU1>?>:2;R1>W6_:R0:1A:Q 32. Compatibility Of The "Non-Reality" Srutis 1. Objection: By depending upon the reality of perception, the non-reality of all other than Brahman is not established. 2.Reply : No,......... perception etc. ...therefore, the reality which is sublated is not depended upon. That which is depended upon and which is the validity for empiricality which has the capacity for purposeful action is not sublated. So, what and by which there is connection. (your question is irrelevant) 1. Therefore, the srutis "one only which is non-dual" etc., are valid on the non-reality of the world. 32 Ì ÌX1FU1W8R]4RWR< X16_1;DA;'5Ç6_R3W?"1>6_1;D>1Q A\9R>1Ì6_R:R0;1;RÌX1FU1><RW41>Ì9R>R1Q ;2R'FU1;R6_1;D\ 8R4;1W12R6_6b1:QÌ4A1R1Q"\'6_1;D\5;1>@;\FU1A>]>@;R12R';G6_1;DW09W3RW5$YBT11GX> Ì9W3FU1W<>"R? >;R>BRS<"9W3:RGA;8R4"1>Ì6_;RW)"1>R1Q ;1Q B6<TD16_:R09R>1>W58=>1Q11Q 8R4":Q;HU A\t53$4 6_:R09R>1>W53N8]=\ 11Q 8R4;:1>;>A2R;R\X1ER5A;3N8]=1>W5Ì8R4"1>A;ÌX1ER5A;'8=>1>W58R4"1>A; ?836_1;D8=R8=>'R<W3?]11>R1Q 33. Refutation Of Sublation Of The "Non-Dual" Srutis 1. By the invalidity of the empirical dual-world, like the "empirical-6 inches moon”, there is no contradiction in the non-dual srutis. We have already discussed how the empiricality is sublated by the srutis. Moreover, empiricality relates to particular object; sruti to all objects. Therefore, where difference is not seen, there itself is room for Srutis, which speak of non-difference. 2. The mere sublation of the empirical difference is not the criteria. That which is strong after examining its validity, that is the cause of sublation. That is sublated, which is weak by the doubtful nature of validation. In this state, the dual knowledge is weak and cannot sublate. Non-dual knowledge is strong and can sublate; in the discussion on the strength and weakness of verbal testimony and empiricality, this has been shown.

Discussion Of The Meaning Of The Sruti " One And Only Non-Dual" Etc 1. By the six rules of import, the sentence on non-dualism is stronger ; the sentences on creation etc have their import on dualism due to nescience, This has been said by us in Kalpalathika. 2.. Here also is laid down by the commentators on the true meaning of six kinds of signals. Therefore, in the beginning , by the promise of all-knowledge by the knowledge of one, in the end, "All this has got That as the Self: That is the truth. That is the Self. Thou art That", Svetaketu. by the overall context, it is of non-duality From the understanding the meaning of the words in that sentence, in accordance with non-duality, - although it is possible to interpret differently the different words - it has to be fitted into the current context and interpreted accordingly leaving out the different meanings. Therefore, "where there is no second" - the Bahuvrihi compound alone - has to be taken. 3. 4.. Like this, in the Brahman - the Existence - the three differences are negated by the three words and the sentence "one without second" points to the non-reality which is different from Brahman.. Notes: Three words are, Yeka, Yeva, Advithiyam. Three differences are: same kind, different kind and The six rules of import are - beginning, end, repetition, novelty, euology, internal. compatibility.

Sublation by knowledge being otherwise incompatible 1. "He who knows Brahman, he transcends sorrow", "Thus, the wise is liberated from "name and form"", "when that Self which is both high and low is realised , the knot of the heart is untied, all doubts become cleared and one's action dissipated", - By these Srutis and Smritis, the incompatibility of an alternative to knowledge for sublatability is valid for the bondage due to non-reality. If it is absolutely real as Brahman, nonsublatability will result. 2. Thus, it was said by the Vartikakara (Sureswaracharya): By the emergence of the correct knowledge arisen from sentences like "Thou art That" etc , the nescience with its effect was not there, is not there, will not be there. The real knowledge of the individual Self alone destroys the individual Self's ignorance.. In addition to its birth in itself, it is not in need of anything else to destroy the ignorance. 3. Therefore, by the knowledge of the substratum, the sublatibility by knowledge is proof of the non-reality, AY ÍÍ66H Ì2"W;\AY!Ò1'W1Q53RW@6_;U·H1>58545A;ER1X"A1>A;ÌER1A1>R9R>A;>R>>D11>R1Q AYRX'ØÏ>:W>RA:R3R1:5A>W]6_R0RA>W]=RW"RA>W]>W3RA>R]09V1R5A>]Ï1ÌR1:R5RW>;Uc<t51ØÒ1FU1 AUªRWt121)T>R1Q6_R0R3AY6_16R3;51T6_:R0:Q >RA@->R1]"R:Y1R3R>R"<W 'A6:W>Í·H:Q ;2RØ Ì>}R;RW5;RW 9R>RA>]W:TW 8UN3RÒ>D0:UO; $'(t51 ER5X")=4RX =;:Q Ø Ò1;R3 1A:R1Q 8_¯R1S<x\ "Y1£\ X1)R1\ ER5EW;Á6:Q ÌR>}":W>W1 6_R1T1"A1>\\A>]A;W1A:Q<dUA6R]3>?>\5RER1\A31tA21:Q6_8UAY1>R1QAU@UªRX'=;FU1W 36 Compatibility Of "Creation by mere sight" 1. What is this sight-creation.........if this is so; No. It is intended that it is existence (due to a defect) which exists only when known or does not exist when not known. 2. The Sruti " from this Atman, all Pranas, all worlds, all Vedas, all elements are born".which maintain the creation of Pranas etc, from the Jiva after waking from sleep are proof. 35 3.. It is said clearly in the "Vasishta Vartika" etc and in Bhashya also : - All these which are from the nescience are like bubbles. After appearing for a second , go away and merge in the ocean of knowledge. Therefore , the entire aggregate of dualities other than the Brahman are cognition-cognised form. The empirical reality is due to nescience. Like the rope-snake, the world is not there when it is not unknown and is empirical because of "sight-creation while awake and in deep sleep, they disappear. ))T> >>R3 ÏÏ" Ì>}R>?R1Q8_¯Ï>Ï"\A\A<1AÏ>)T>1A;X>6_1?<T<\ÌB\Ò1;R38U 1A:R1QÌ>}RW6R4"RW)T>Ï"Ï>Ò1A:Q 37.Discussion on One Individual Self 1.

In the Chandyogya Upanishad (8-3-2), it is said - "As persons who are ignorant about treasures do not get it even though walking over it again and again. So also, all these creatures do not realise Brahman although they reach daily (during sleep) this world of Brahman because they are carried away by untruth. 2. In the Chandyogya Upanishad (8-3-2), it is said they are carried by untruth.. 3. They are covered by Nihara (Snow) (Rig.Veda.Adyaya 8-3-17) 4. In the beginning there was darkness. (Rig.Veda Adyaya 8-7-17) 5. Maya is to be understood as Prakriti (Svetssvetara Up, 4-10) 6. There is one unborn being red,white and black (Sve.U.4-5) 38 7. Those who dwell in nescience (Kato Up. 2-5) 8. There is further cessation at the end of the non-reality of the world.(Sve.Up..1-10) These are evidences on ignorance in the Srutis.

That nescience is known through Sakshin and not illuminated by pure Consciousness. Sakshi is Consciousness reflected in nescience. 2. . Therefore it is said that nescience like Rahu is illuminated by the Consciousness which it conceals. 3.By this it should not be said that nescience is not known sometime; this is acceptable, since in concentration, this has been accepted.

Pure consciousness is the locus of nescience. 2. It has been said (Sarvajnatman) :Pure Consciousness is the locus and object of nescience. All that come into being after nescience can neither be locus nor object of nescience which exists before them. 3. Therefore, because of the distinction due to nescience , only in Consciousness, the state of being liberation and worldliness and omniscience and limited knowledge can be compatible.

It is only the Pure Consciousness which is the object of nescience.. Since it is not imposed, there is no mutual dependency.

Compatibility of "I" is non-self. 1. Ahamkara is known to be with desire etc. This is acceptable to both of us. In deep sleep there is no desire etc. and there is no experience of "I". So, Ahamkara is different from the Self, who is experienced as locus of nescience. 2. The Sruti -"Then, therefore, instruction on Ahamkara, then therefore, instruction on Atma - instructs separately.

Although in the insentient part - the intellect - there is the agency and with this qualification, the intellect, without superimposition on the sentient part, the cognition "I am the agent " is not possible. Therefore, super-imposition is necessary. 3.

Compatibility of Superimposition Of identity between Body and Self 1. Ahamkara has two parts. As in the case of the superimposition of the mind along with agency etc, on the Consciousness part, the body and organs along with Brahminhood, deafness etc is superimposed on the Self. This is possible. Therefore, in Self, the superimposition of body and organs etc. is compatible. 2. Therefore, from the cognition of the common cow-boy onwards of "I am white" etc the mind is superimposed on the Self. Similarly, the superimposition of the body and its properties is proved. 42 Ì Ì5>R]';1>=D0Í66H A=D01>WA1ÌA=D01>WA1A3A=D01>:Q AH>RAH>R9;R\>'R<RAB1>WA1A3A1>W5>'R<RAB1>:Q>R 6_16¿RW6R4RX8R4;1>\>RÒ1;R3=D0W5<>}1>A\9>R1Q Ï>\'1R"]":1WA\;RW$139R>;RWS<>9y:1W9W3R9W3;RWS<>A1>RA1>R9R>;RW<6Ì><RW4Ï> 1A:R1Q5?Ut·HÁ6;6_6bAR4R<0Ì5>R]';1>=D0Ì5U66H 51.Compatibility of the Definition Of indeterminability 1.

Refutaton Of Asatkhyati 1. Therefore, indeterminable erroneous perception is only correct., as there is proof.. The absolute absence of existence or the difference from existence are not correct as there is no proof. 2. It cannot be proof of perception "that silver shone was absolute absence of existence; because of the later sublation; the perception indicates only the difference from existence in the silver. 3. There is no cognition of non-existence through sentences like "rabbit horn - absolute absence of existence." But it is vikalpa..(imagination/fancy) Therefore, there is no asatkhyati. Notes: 1. Atmakhyati - Superimposition of the attribute of silver in the mind on the external shell. Advocated by Yogachara Buddhists (Kshanikavijnam) 2, Asatkhyati - Absolute absence like hare's horn. Advocated by Madyamika Buddhists, 3. Akyati - absence of illusion. Advocated by Prabhakara Mimamsakas. 4.

Compatibility Of Birth Of Silver Due To nescience 1. That indeterminable is of the material cause of ignorance. It is destroyed by the knowledge of absolute reality, 2. Objection:Then, "Shell silver is born and is lost" this mental state should arise and also the negation for all the three times will not be there. 3.Reply: No; The character of the counter-positive of the negation for all the three times of the known birth etc is perceived by the incompatibility of other than immediate perception. 4. Or, it is negation for all the three times of the empirical silver. 5. Moreover, the known shell while destroying ignorance also destroys silver. That is not possible if ignorance is not the material cause. Towards the destruction of effect, the destruction of the agency is not relevant. There is no rule that the object should be perceived in the form of its material cause. 46 99_:A;>>Y1;Í66H 1A:R1QÌ4R5R\?WÌ51"<0>YHÌ4;A1R\?W'Ì>}R>YH1A;R\'1R3R1:;A;9R5R1Q5Ì#;R1:1 6_>W? 12R'6<:R2]A1Q'X15;:QÌ4R5:QÌ4;A1ER5A;1c>4\>;R>BRS<"A1Q6_RS19RA"AcW1 13U·H\Ø6_R"Q>;R>BRS<"AH>>@;1>R1Q6_1;D\5ÌR$:8R4":QØ 6R<:R2]A1>\ÌR3R;G>4\A1>:Q 59.

Impartite knowledge is of two kinds, one of word and the other of sentence. Each one of them is again of two kinds, one is of scripture and the other worldly. . Scriptural word also is of two kinds, one relating to the the word "it" and the other "thou". "Brahman is existence, knowledge and infinitude" is related to the word "it". "He who dwells in the heart. surrounded by Prana, illuminating others, reflected in the intellect " relates to the word "Thou". "(Moon is) profound light " relates to the word worldly.. Scriptural sentence is "Thou art that". "This is that Devadatta" is of worldly sentence. 2. Impartite cognition is the character of generating valid cognition produced by words which are not synonymous and are not indicative of anything other than the one suggested by the vritti of the word.

Brahman is attributeless by the Kavalya Sruti. 2. In the sentence "Iswara has always all auspicious qualities ", the character of the time bound fulfilled qualities is acceptable to us also. In the stage of attributelessness, there is no relation with time. 3. It is said by the author of Kalpatharu in the Antara Adhikarana. " those who cannot realise attributeless Brahman, are graced by the proof of Brahman with attributes. When the mind is controlled by the Brahman with attributes, It will reveal itself without the imagined adjuncts. 4. Since the sentences of Brahman with attributes are the subject of adjunct, there is no contradiction with the Srutis of natural attributeless Brahman. 5. Objection: When there is contradiction between Srutis, one cannot have a lesser validity. When there is contradiction in the Sastra, and when both are valid in the form of lesser application or alternatively, they are reconciled in the Purvamimasa and Vyakarana 6. Reply: No. Where, between the two valid Sastras which have equal status and when one is not possible to be sublated, there either by lesser application or alternatively, partial validity has been determined. But here, one is stronger with a real purport and the other with lesser purport is weaker; that is the difference. 5$]U0WA6_:R01R ÌR}W A7V1;]2^A>6_"R?1;R6_:R0>X;2;]:Q 1T;W ÌER55>Y1;2^Í65@3Ï>6_:R01>R1QÌ1Ï>6_1;D\Ì5U:R5\>RÒ1;R3>"º6A;5Ì>"R? 55U)R1$U0"_;R3Á65:HR9R>W5Í65@1Q:R5\55>]?W@WÒ1'W1Q5 :U#;$RX0;A\9>W6=D0R;RA\9>R1Q 5.

"From which these elements are born" By the fifth case ending (the prime cause of the agent of the verb jan meaning to be born is called apadana (ablative/fifth case). "To which they return " - by indicating that it is the support for existence and end - by these the material causality is established. 2." It saw ", "Let me spread" - Brahman is the support of "seeing" etc. By this the efficient causality is established. 3. From Atman, Akasa was born etc. In these also there is the fifth case of materiality. 4. Similarly, "It thought, let me become many" - should be understood as evidence for this.. 5. There was nothing before. From it, Sat was born, It created itself. This also is evidence for the said meaning. 6. "It is the birth place of elements. This indicates material causality.. 7. When one is known, all are known - this is also evidence for material cause. 8. (Sadhya) World is of a cause which is both material and efficient - (Hetu) Because it is the effect born preceded by thinking . (Exam) Like pleasure and pain. 9. Moreover, there is the advantage of the example which is acceptable to both parties of the conjuntion of time and pot which is the cause for all effects. Thus it is stablished that Brahman is both (undifferentiated) efficient and material cause. 88_¯0AA>6_"R?1>=D0Í66H Ì>W}1>WA1Ì6<RWD>;>BR<;RW$;1>R1;51R9R>R54"<01>:Q 56 11.Compatibility of the definition that Brahman Is Self Luminous 1.

The main purport cannot be sacrificed to be in line with secondary implication. It is said in the Nyayachintamani that vritti is for the purport and not the purport for the vritti. By the implication, "quasiinclusive", when the important purport is possible, it is not proper to invent that its purport is on concomittance. 2. By this, the following (interpretations of "Thou art That) has been refuted. (a) "you stand by him " (b) from him you are born (c) you are of him (d) you are in him. 3. By this, the following is also refuted. - You are of him., as a compound.

In the Mundakopanishad - "He who knows the highest Brahman becomes Brahman himself" The purport of this sentence is non-difference. 3. "Being Brahman. attains Brahman " The purport of this Sruti also is non-difference. 4. "In the Supreme indestructible Brahman, all become one " This also is valid in nondifference". 5. In the Antharyami Brahmana - "There is no other seer than He" and in the Akshara Brahmana " there is nothing that sees but It" are valid in non-difference. 6. "From the second only there is fear " - difference is spurned and therefore, nondifference only is the purport of the Upanashad. 7 "If he makes the smallest distinction in It, there is fear for him.

(Sadhya) Atma is not many as it is a class which is less pervasive than the character of Dravya (Hetu) because it is present everywhere (Dris) like Akasa. 3. (Sadhya) The difference in perception of the subject is non-real, (Hetu) Because of difference in perception (Drish) Like the difference in perception of the moon Ì Ì\?1>W5ÏW·;RW66H Ø6R3R__WA;>?>R9V1R5ØÒ1FU1RXØ::X>R\?RW)T>=RW"W)T>9V1A5R15ØÒ1A:Y1RX'Ì\?1>>;63W?R1QÌ6 )T>8_¯Ì9W3A 1A:R1QØ1>\TA>R]0Á6R0ØÒ1;R3FU1;R)T>8_¯Ì9W3W6_:1W6:51Y:51>;1>R3 9W3>;3W?5>R]BR2^"Rº65"R\?1>A;FU1A:Y1>;RÂ11>W51=R36Ì9W3RW>$:;1WÒ1A:Q 32.Compatibility of Non-Difference as Composite 1. In the Sruti "His feet are all beings in the world", in the Smruti "Jiva is part of me in the world" - In these , Jiva is mentioned as part of Brahman. By these also,nondifference results. 2. By the Srutis, although non-difference between Jiva and Brahman is meant, still for explaining the difference between the meditator and who is meditated upon, difference is assumed as a part, From this also , non-difference is the result. 8:86_18:85;R;W5ÏÏW·;A 12R)T>8_¯0RW:U#6_1:U#>1Q8:86_18:8À61>R1QÌ6Ì9W3RWÌ>$51>; 13W>\6_18:8A;8:8W5X·;W>;>tA21W8_¯X·;\)T>)R1A;A\116_18:85R1Q 33.

Non-difference is to be understood as in the case of an original and reflection , as Brahman is the original and Jiva its reflection. 2.When the reflection is non-different from the original, Jiva by its reflection of Brahman is non-different from it. 67 )T>R0U1>##0.5:Q 55UÌ0U1>RdT>A;"2\>;R6"R3T?><R39W3Ò1'W1Q5 Ø 51; A>]$1Ø Ø A >R Ï@ :BR5) ÌR1:R Ø Ò1;R3 FU1;R AR )T>RW 5R0U BW 6_1;D$U0 ÌRF;1>R1Q 6_1;D1>Rc %,>1Q BWÌR1:1>R1Q Ì9V11>R1Q' Ò]?><>1QÒ1;R3Ì5U:R5X?')T>Ì50U1>AW >6DW'3WB>;R6AU#ER5R3Ì5U6=:9R6H8R4"R AR)T>Ì0U BWER5RA:>R;"R<0A\;RW$RF;1>R1Q :5RW>1QÒ1;G).1>A;RW6R41>Rc 34.Refutation that Jiva Is Atomic (Minute) 1. Objection: How can Jiva which is atomic be non-different from Iswara who is omnipresent. 2. Reply:. By the Srutis, "Eternal all pervading", "He is that great unborn Atma" and by the inferences, (Sadya) Jiva is not atomic, (Hetu) because he is the locus of perceptible properties (Example) like a jar, (2nd Hetu) because he is Atman, he is not matter (2nd Example) like Iswara, Jiva is not atomic. If Jiva were atomic, it will not be possible for him to feel pain or pleasure pervading the whole body. 3. (Sadhya) Jiva is atomic (Hetu) Because it has the characteristic of being the locus of conjunction which is the nonconcomitant cause of knowledge. {Drish) Like the mind. Here insentience is an adjunct. Notes; In Laghu Chandrika ( by Brahmananda Saraswati) which is a rejoinder to Tarangani (By Ramathirta of Madwa school ) which is a rejoinder to Advaitasiddi, the following sloka is quoted at the end of second Parichheda in support of Jiva-Brahma non-duality: ÇRX63T?R"R:RA>R} G=RW"u ;W5 16]1R 1dT >8_¯0RW<·X ;W ARD 8_¯X>5RWBS< 68 11Y1T;6S<'(W3 PARICHEDA 3 69 ::55534;RA5;RWF F>0Rm1>Í66H 13W>\ÏW"R1:;W>;>tA21W11ARDR1"R<R;F>0:QÌm:55534;RA5W13m1;R:U:UD9Ì5U®W;W13N·H\>><0RW Ø F>0:m 6_:R0A; 6_:W;R>$:\ 6_1Ì>;>4R5R1Q :55534;RA5W 1U 'HA; 6_1;$R1:6_>0A\A"R<6S<5@6¿ 13W"R$_>YH"R;]R<W08_¯R5U9>BW1U1R\6_16}W1WÒ17=RW6"R;]mW 1. Thinking And Meditating Are Subsidiary To Hearing 1. Thus when the oneness of Atman is established, those wishing realisation should have hearing as primary with thinking and meditation as secondary means. It is said in the Vivarana - "Hearing is primary, as there is no gap between the means and the object, whereas thinking and meditation are secondary for the realisation and become the cause for Brahman realisation by the concentration of the mind purified by the samskara of direction towards Self. >><0RW·H5;:RW66H 1GF>0R3"\>@;R>$:\6_1Ì5>;>;1<W"ARW6R;Ò114W5Ì6V>]>41>:Q"\1U5;:>41>:W> 2. Ordained Injunction Of Vivarana 1. Hearing etc are the means for realisation of Brahman by positive and negative reasonings. The injuntion is not "Apurva" but of ordained injunction only. Notes:Vidhis are of three kinds. a) Apurva vidhi = not known for all times by any way. Example: Vrihin prokashati = Sprinkles the grains. (b) Niyama vidhi = Partly known to be done and partly not known to bedone.. Example: Vrihin avahanti = strikes grains. (c) Parisankya vidhi = when an effect can result in more than one way, ordaining of one. Example. Pancha Pancha naka Bhakshyah. Only five fingered five animals should be eaten.. 70 FF>0R3W>]4W;1>Í66H ÌR}6DA;X>DRW3D:1>R1Q ?x1R16;R]>4R<0\>R5'1G?83?t·HÌA\9>RW3RW@?UW?t·HÌA\9>W6 >??·HW1RW4RW6;RW$5;RÌ>4R<0T;R;RA\9>R1Q1R16;R]A;R6A\?;4:]0RW5t?'11>W51GÌA\9>W6 A\?;"RWÈU6=SD1W5>]?W@WA\9>W5>'R<Ì>X;2;R]1Q 1A:R1QF>0R3WÌ4TÁ61;R:5RW>;R6<1>W5>4W;1>Í66H 3.Compatibility of Hearing Etc As An Injunction 1. The first can be accepted (understanding the purport of the potency.) There is no harm that the potency of the words is not possible. Although this is not possible in pure Brahman, the qualified potency 's usefulness in understnding is posssible. Although the doubtful aspects have been decided and it is not possible there, still it is possible in the pure Brahman by the indication of the doubtful aspects. - thus discussion is not unnecessary. 2. Therefore, injunction of hearing etc. are compatible as they are of mental state and different from knowledge. >'R<A;FF>0>4:V=1>Í66H Ï>\>'R<>4R;"F>0>4W<W>)ERARAVG:V=:Q ;RA:5>;R4;R;RW·H1R16;]5?'R;"Í6"_:R3;Ut·HÌ5UA54R5\F>0\1T;R4;R;RW·HÌ2]ÌAH> ?kR5>1]";Ut·HÌ5UA54R5\:55:Q 1A:R1QF>0>4:V=\>'R<>4R;"S)ERARAVGA;51U:55>4S<1A:Q 4.Compatibility - Hearing Is The Root Cause For Discussion 1. The root cause for Jignsa Sutra is the injunction for hearing which is the case for the injunction for discussion. 2. Or hearing is the repetitive thinking of the reasons like beginning etc. which decide the purport, as said in the Samanvaya Adyaya, Reflection is the repetitive thinking of the reasons for clearing doubts and impossibilities etc, as said in the Second Chapter. 71 3. Therefore, the injunction of hearing is the cause for injunction for discussion of the Jignasa Sutra and not the injunction for reflection. >>R'A61;U·HA>R4;;>4>'R<<ÌRDW6"1>Í66H 6_A2R5R51<W1UÌ4;;5>4W<W>R2R]>$:6;]511>R1Q"R0.;>'R<RDW6"1>:QF>0R3@U'5>4 5.Compatibility of the presumptive discussion by the injunction of Adyayana according to Vachaspati's View In the other Prastana, the injunction for reciting is upto the understanding of the meaning and which applies to both the Khandas, there is no injunction for hearing. 1.

Refutation Of Man's Effort For Knowledge 1 Objection:. It should not be said : - Since the knowledge of the meaning of the Sastra is always seen as an effort of man and since Brahman is the meaning of Sastra, Brahman knowledge is also of man's effort. Reply:. There also the human effort is with reference to the instruments of knowledge. The good which are enjoined and bad which are prohibited pertain only to the instruments of knowledge. The experience of pain etc, which are born or eradicated also pertain to instruments of knowledge. 72 2. We do not say that it is non-injunction by other effort alone, but when there is cause by human desire, it is not possible to do it otherwise .

Refutation Of Injunction Of Knowledge 1. Therefore, in "Ghee seen by wife" etc. also, knowledge is not an ordained injunction; in the case of concentration also , since it is separate from knowledge, injunction is possible. In understanding the subtle meaning of Sastra there is an injunction, by induction and deduction of reasoning and it does not relate to knowledge but to instruments of knowledge. and therefore , knowledge of the Atman is not possible to be enjoined. Likewise, hearing if it is defined as knowledge is incompatible to be enjoined. Sravana is discussion to find out the methods to get immediate knowledge from the Sabda.Therefore, hearing is different from knowledge. Thinking and meditation are subsidiaries to hearing. It is the principal means for realisation of Brahman and is enjoined. ??R83R6<RWD1>:Q 55U"2:6<RWDER5)5"1>:Q?83A;!:R5R9R>R31'W1Q5]>W3R51>ER5AU5t?'1R2R]]ØÒ1;R3W?':R51>R1Q 5' AR>:1?83RW5R6<RWD4TBW1U BW?831>R1QÒ16_1AR45:Q3?:A1>:AÒ1;R3R>W>>;9'R<R1Q 1A:R1Q1H>:A;R3>R·;A;Ì6<RWDER5)5"1>R1QÌ>}R5>YH;R1:":RWDAR458_¯ARDR1"R<R;:55R}m"\F>0\ Ìm5;:>4>@;Ò1A:Q 8. Immediate Knowledge From Verbal Testimony 1.Objection: How can word produce immediate knowledge as there is no authority.? Reply: The authority is the Sruti: " Those with knowledge of the Vedanta have the determination of the identity (Jiva-Brahma) 73 2. It is not : (sadhya) Word isnot cause of immediate knowledge (Hetu) Because it is a word. Because it strays in "you are the tenth" etc. 3.. Therefore, sentences like "Thou art That " generate immediate knowledge. It is in the form of release of nescience, a means for Liberation for Brahman realisation. Hearing is principal, meditation etc, are subsidiaries, it is the subject of Niyama Vidhi. This is established. .

Even though the indicator is destroyed, release will be there like the cook etc. (even when the action of cooking ceases, the cook remains,) Release is in the nature of what one gets that which he already has. In its nature of Bliss, although it is not possible to be a Sadhya, still it can be established by the mental 75 state of ignorance which veils Bliss. It is similar to one getting the necklace which he already has. Therefore, eradication of ignorance is the essential nature of Atman or of a mental state in that form.

Compatibility Of Jivanmukthi 1.Thar Bliss is experienced by a Jivanmukta. There is no question of the fall of the body immediately real knowledge is realised. Because of the continuance of residue, although relieved of illusion, the resultant body is possible to be continued, like the continuance of fear and shaking after an illusion of a serpent and also like the circling of the potter's wheel even after taking away the stick ::U·HRX1R<1:;9m 77 5R6:U·HRXÍc5T'9R>1A;1T;AR6WD1>W513RÌA\9>R1QØ6<:\AR:;\ØÍ6X1Ò1AR:;FU1W?'AR1?;1>W :U·HWA>$R]3>1QÌ51;1>\A;R1Q AR45RWH:1>W5AR4;RWH:A;Ì6<::Ut·H>@;1>R1Q 1A:R1QA>Á6R553A;A>6_"R?R1:Á606_Rª:U]t·H5]1GRtA11R<1:;\"2\'5 6.Refutation of presence of Gradation in Mukti 1. There are also no high or low grades in mukti., as the question of degrees arise only in duality which does not exist in Moksha. "he obtains absolute equality " says Sruti. If there are grades in Moksha like Swarga, it will become non-eternal. 2. Attainment of bliss in its form in the self-luminous form of Atman is moksha. Since there is no question of grades whatsoever. 3. Therefore Liberation is attaining the form of self-luminosity which is the nature of bliss. There is no gradation there whatsoever. Books 1.

Prof. S, Kuppuswamy Sastri's English translation and notes on the Tarka Sangraha (Primer of Indian Logic) gives a good working knowledge of the methodology of Indian Logic, with its introduction on the origin and development of Indian logic . It is published by the Kuppusway Sastry Research Institute, Mylapore, Madras 4. 2. To understand the new School of Logic, a study of the Karikavali (Bhasha Pariccheda) with the commentary of Mukthavali is nescessary. An English translation by Swami Madhavanda is availble, published by Advaita Ashrama, Calcutta. 3. As a ready reckoner, the following terms and explanation s are given. These are not exhaustive but only indicative. 4. The new school of Indian logic lays much stress on the means of valid knowledge (Pramana), particularly to inference (reasoning). The terms are defined very accuratley. The methodology is unique in its brevity without sacrificing clarity. 5. It deals with four Pramanas - Perception (Pratyaksha), Inference (Anumana), Similarity (Upamana ) and Verbal Testimony (Sabda), Vedanta has accepted two more Presumption (Arthapatti) and Non-cognition (Anupalabdhi). 6. Perception is the knowledge through the sense organs. 7.1. Inference is in the form of a syllogism -(1) The Mountain is with fire 6>]1RW>t5B:R5Q Because it has smoke (4V:>1>R1Q Like the hearth :BR5A>1Q In this syllogism, Mountain is called Paksha (subject) ." With fire" is Probandum (Sadya), Fire is the reason (Hetu) and Hearth is the example (Drishtanta). The sadya is established by the knowledge of the invariable concomitance between fire and smoke. 79 7.2. A defective probans (fallacious reason) (Hetvabhasa) will obstruct the inferential knowledge and they are of five kinds. (1) Reason that strays away (Savyabhichara) (2) the adverse reason (viruddha) (3) the opposable reason (Satpratipaksha) (4) the unestablished reason (asiddha) and the stultified reason (bhadita) 7.3. The straying reason (savyabhichara) is otherwise known as anaikantika (literally not unfailing in its association with the probandum) It is of three kinds - viz, common (sadharana) , uncommon (asadharana) and non-conclusive (anupasamharin) 7.4. The common strayer (asadharana) is that variety of straying reason which is present in a place where the probandum (sadhya) is not present; as in the argument-"The mountain has fire,because it is knowable". In this argument, knowability is found in a tank where fire is not present. The uncommon strayer (asadharana) is that reason which is present in the subject (paksha) and not present in any similar example (sapaksa) or counter-example (vipaksa); as soundness (sabdatva), in the argument - "Sound is eternal, because it is sound", sabdatva (sound-ness) being present only in sound, and nowhere else, eternal or non-eternal. The non-conclusive strayer (anupasamharin) is that reason which has no affirmative or negative example (anvayadrishtana or vyathirekadrishtanta); as knowableness (premeyatva) in the argument - " All things are non-eternal, because they are knowable". Here, no example is available since all things are treated as paksa. 7.5. The adverse reason (viruddha) is one which is invariably concomitant with with the non-existence of the probandum; as producibility (kritakatva), in the argument - "Sound is eternal, because it is produced". Here producibility is invariably concomitant with non-eternality, which amounts to the non-existence of eternality. 7.6 The opposable reason (satpratipaksa) is one which admits of being counter-balanced by another reason that proves the non-existence of the probandum; as audibility in the argument--"Sound is eternal, because it is audible, like soundness (Sabdatva). The counter - reason in this case is producibility (Kritakatva) in the argument-"Sound is noneternal, because it is producible:". 7.7 The unestablished reason (asiddha) is of three kinds; viz, unestablished in respect of abode (asrayaasiddha), unestablished in respect of itself (swarupaasiddha) and unestablished in respect of its concomitance (vyapyatvaasiddha). The reason is asryasiddha in the argument - "Sky-lotus is frgrant, because it is lotus, like the lotus of a pond." Here, sky - lotus is the abode or subject and it never exists. The reason swarupasiddha in the argument - "Sound is a quality, because it is visible, like colour". Here, visibility cannot be predicated of sound, which is only audible. The reason is said to be an adventious condition (upadhi) which is pervasive of the probandum but not pervasive of the probans, In the argument - "The mountain has smoke, because it has fire",contact with wet fuel is the adventious condition (upadhi). "Where there is smoke, there is contact with wet fuel"-thus it is pervasive of the probandum . There is no contact with wet fuel in every place where there is fire; for instance, a red-hot iron ball has no contact with wet fuel; thus the upadhi is non-pervasive of the probans. In this 80 manner,contact with wet fuel is the upadhi in the present instance, because it is pervasive of the probandum but not pervasive of the probans. And fire, in the argument under reference, is vyapyatvaasiddha, since it is associated with an adventitious condition (upadhi), 7.8 The stultified reason (bhadita) is one which is put forward to prove a probandum whose non-exitence is established by another proof.. "Fire is not hot, because it is a substance ", the probandum is "not being hot"; its reverse - "being hot" - is perceived through tactile perception; so the probans is stultified (badhita). 8. Similarity (Upamana). Analogical cognition consists in the knowledge of relation between a name and the object. 9. Verbal testimony (Sabda) . Verbal expectancy (Akanksha) congruity (Yogyata) and proximity (Sannidhi) these are causes that bring about verbal cognition. 10. Presumption (Arthapatti) is of an explanatory fact (upapadaka) from a knowledge of the thing to be explained (upapadya). Stoutness of a man who does not eat at day time is inexplicable unless we assume his eating at night. 11, Non-cognition (Anupalabdhi) is the distinctive cause of that experience of nonexistence which is not generated by an instrument of cognition, If on a brightly lit ground, there existed a pot ,it should be known. Now it is not known. Therefore there is non-existence of the pot on the ground. 12. Definition (lakshana): The usual method is to give a simple definition and examine the purpose of each word included in it (Dala-prayojana-chinta). Definition is susceptible to three faults. (Dosha). If we define a cow an animal with horns, it extends to non-cows (ativyapti-over-applicability), it does not include cows which have no horns (avyapti-non-inclusiveness) If we define cow as "a single hoofed animal", it is not applicable to any cow at all (Asambava-non-applicability). 13. The cause and effect relationship (Karya-karana bhava) is established by the copresence (anvaya) and co-absence (vyatireka) (Yatsattve yatsatvam yadabhave yadabhavah). 14. Causes are three. (1) Material cause (Samavayi karana) is a substance e, thread for the cloth. (2) Non-material cause (asamavayi Karana) is quality or action. eg conjunction of thread (Tantusamyoga) (3) Others . Nimitta karana - the weaver 15. I n order to point out the difference between the various cognitions, perceptional, inferential,verbal etc, an attribute is assumed in each. objectness (vishayata), subjectness (Vishayita), Causality (Karanata) effectness (Karyata) etc. 16. Avacchedaka and avacchinna: That which delimits a thing or an attribute is called avacchedaka, while the delimited is avachinna. Gatatva is avacchedaka and Gata is avachinna. 81 17. Abhava" Non-existence is a positive entity and it is of four kinds. Prior nonexistence (Pragabhava) annihilative non-existence (Dwamsabhava), absolute nonexistence (atyantabhava) and mutual non-existence (anyonyabhava). 18.

Siddanta Kaumudi (By Bhattoji Dikshita ) with a commentary "Balamanorama" by Vasudeva Dikshita is the standard text book for the study of Sanskrit grammar. English translations are available. Siddanta Kaumudi is a detailed explanation of the Sutras of Panini in a subjectwise order. 2. Panini has formulated Sanskrit Grammar in "Ashtadhyayi" with 8 chapters of four Padas each - total 3983 Sutras. In addition, he has given a list of verb roots (Dhatupata) under ten categories classified into Atmanepada a nd Parasmaipada - total 1943 roots. 3. Panini's Ashtadhyayi is a masterpiece in the field of Philology. It has been commented upon by Vararuchi in a vartika and by Patanjali in his Maha Bhasya. 4. In the methodology of the Paninian Grammar, the most important and the unique is the Pratyahara Sutras.

There are 43 Pratyaharas for different combinations. The last letter at the end of each Sutra is the indicating letter. 6. The technical terms numbering about 100, the interpreting and injunction rules have been clearly defined at the outset. 7. Another scientifically designed feature is the rules for conjunction of words, (Sandhi). This is based on the concept of Savarna, - letters which have the same place of utterance in our vocal system and which in uttering have the same amount of effort. 83 8. Another important feature is the large number of Pratyayas - affixes - to be added to nouns and verbs and a great variety of derivatives are obtained. For example, for nouns, 21 affixes are given - called AU6Q (7 case ending each for Singular, Dual and Plural). Similarly, 18 Suffixes are given for verbs called - 1&Q There are also number of suffixes for noun and verb derivatives. 9.
