Dvaitha Khandana work

[Guest guest]

Respected All,

 

Can you kindly point to me to a work of V.Advaithic traditional scholar

refuting dvaitha siddhantha in the Sri Ramanuja lineage, specifically any

work from Sri Vedantha Desika ala Shatadushani. I don't think shatadushani

considers dvaitha as a purvapaksha. Or am I missing something therein.

 

Is there any consolidation of Sri Ramanuja's refuting paramathas in his

works like Sri Bhashya including Dvaitha as I hope dvaitha is also a

purvapaksha for a vedantin. By saying dvaitha, I am not equalling it to a

sankhya or other similar philosophies as their essence is different than

what is being propounded by Madhwacharya.

 

Kindly help me.

 

Thanks

Sukumar

Yes there are such works. Advaita tatva sudha - of maha mahopadhyaya NS

Anantha krishna sastriar.

 

There are 3 volumes I guess. I have them. One volume is dedicated to dvaita

khandana. Another on visistadvaita.

 

 

 

Most visistadvaitic scholars think that this is not a great khandana work.

But nevertheless is is an official documented khandana.

 

 

 

in fact satadusani is also attacked here. Answer to this was written by both

schools dvaita and visistadvaita.

 

 

 

 

 

Uttamoor wrote paramartha bhusana as answer to this. Ayya devanathachar

wrote another additional work in this regard.

 

 

 

I don't remember dvaita work. However between visistadvaita and dvaita -

vijayendra parajaya, vijayendravakvijaya vajradanti. Etc. are there.

 

 

 

If you go deep into upanisads and sutras, you will know the real value of

these inter scholastic debates.

 

 

 

In this context, great pundits of like Kothamangalam Varadachar, who is

honored by all vedantic schools, who is 84 and who is still active and

probably one of the only few remaining great scholars, can throw a lot of

deep insights.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

Krishna

Thanks. When I say Khandana I mean coming from Sri Vedantha Desika or the

likes - Sri Jayatheertha/Sri Vyasathirtha(of dvaitha) etc., who are

chatusasti kovidas and whose works are bereft of any doshas.

 

I would say, a khandana on Shatadushana should have met with a response from

Vedantha Desika (if it originated in his time). Otherwise, I only think

that any khandana on shatadushana is the outcome of improper understanding

of the great work. Hence the later day khandana works on great works like

shatadushana, nyayasudha etc., suffer limitations.

 

Thanks a lot. I think vijayendra parajaya and vijayendravakvijaya etc.,

refers to vijayendra thirtha of a dvaitha lineage. However, I will make

enquiries on these.

 

Dwelling deep into upanishats & sutras is an orduous task unless one possess

knowledge of sanskrit & siksha in a traditional manner. Even though I can

guess the enormous pleasure that a Sribhashya brings in when one studies, I

am keeping it at bay for want of sufficient qualification to receive the

knowledge it contain. As they say, Veda is more afraid of those who study

it & misunderstand it than one who won't touch it.

 

thanks

There has been a work against Dvaita on behalf of Visistadvaita. It is

Vijayindraparajaya by Kumbakonam Tatacharya (alias Parakalayati). There is a reference to it in Visitadvaita and Dvaita by B.N.Hebbar, published by Bharatiya Granth Niketan,Daryaganj, New Delhi. Sri Hebbar has wtritten this book as a refutation of Tatacharya's work. The original Sanskrit manuscript/ book of Tatacharya may be available with Sri Parakala Mutt. But going through Sri Hebbar's book, one can notice the arguments of the Visistadvaita scholar as quoted by the author. If any one can throw light on Tatacharya's work, I will be grateful.
