Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 SrI: Looking for etymological clarification for: 1) "Sesha" (as in "bhagavat-Sesha" etc) Sort of know that "a-Sesha" means "all". So does "Sesha" probably mean "part of whole"? [ I don't mean that brahman (=whole) is merely a totality of all chetana and achetana put together. SrI rAmAnuja clearly says brahman is "sakhala-itara-vilakshaNa". ie the brahma-tattva is entirely different & distinct from the jIva & achetana tattva-s ! viSishTAdvaita is about tattva-traya unlike Sankara-advaita in which there is only brahma-tattva. ] 2) "kainkarya" (as "bhagavat-kainkarya" etc) Is it probably derived from "kim-kara" ? (literally meaning "what may I do?" or something?) rAmAnuja-dAsa //Ramkumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
