Yes. abhinava dESika SrImath U.Ve. uttamUr vIrarAghavArya mahA dESika swAmi has written the rejoinder in " supreme scholarly manner " . It is a very detailed grantham.

It is said that BrahmasrI Anantha krishna SAstriar has attempted a rejoinder for Sata-dhUshaNi of swAmi dESika. I have heard from SrI VaishNava vidwAns that criticisms present in this grantham fully refute the Advaita of SrI Adi Sankara and the developments in the same Advaita after the advent of certain famous advaita sidhdAntha vidwAns. Also, I have heard that the kandaNam-points in SrImath uttamUr swAmi's paramArtha bhUshaNam work is very fair, healthy, scholarly and without offending anybody and that the Advaitins would learn more about their own sidhdAntha from it! Needless to say, ParamArtha bhUshaNa is a masterpiece - even according to certain advaitins!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 SrI: SrI UtthamUr VIrarAghavArya mahAdESikAya namaH namO nArAyaNa ! Dear SrI Malolan and SrI Rajeev, About this Work : ParamArtha-BhUshaNam (Skt): Refutation of " MahAmahOpAdyAya " SrI AnantakrishNa SAstri's " SatabhUshaNI " , a criticism of SrI VEdAnta DESika's SatadUshaNI. This is the magnum opus of SrI " Abhniva DESika " UtthamUr SwAmi, an outstanding contribution to the understanding of VEdAnta in general, ViSishTAdvaita and advaita in particular, taking one to the extreme limits of hair-splitting dialectics and polemics with great authority rooted in all SAstras, written in the classical style of VEdanta as a great champion. The work convinsingly answers all the criticisms present in various works by advaitins spread over all these centuries - till the latest criticisms. At many instances, SrI Abhinava DESika points out the mis-understanding of advanced intricate aspects of advaita siddhAnta by even the stalwart SrI AnantakrishNa SAstri, by quoting from various advaita works - old to new. Great Scholars of advaita VEdAnta admit that this work gives a very good clarity in understanding advaita in the first place. SrI Abhinava DESika also advances his own new criticisms against ViSishTAdvaita which the advaitins haven't thought off and again convinsingly refutes them - answering before-hand, whatever one might come-up with in the future. Unparalleled work from the pen of a matured genius the history of VEdAnta has witnessed. Now-a-days, the understanding and thorough learning of SatadUshaNI has become quite scarse in even scholarly circles. One needs to know both advaita and ViSishTAdvaita to a very good level (through the concrete learning of bhAshyams etc works of both the schools) before venturing to comprehend high-end granthas like ParamArtha-BhUshaNam. Publication : This immortal work has been out-of-print for many years (pub. 1959). Efforts are being made to re-print it with suitable additional Introductory messages etc from SrI SrIvatsA~nkAchArya. SrI Kumar KaNNan of USA, a bhakta of SrI UtthamUr SwAmi is the sponsorer for the publication of this work. > P.S I am requesting Sriman Anand Karalapakkam to present an article > on paramArtha bhUshanam if time permits. Even if time permits, its out of my ability for now to understand the polemics involved esp.by mere reading ! FYI : Even the top-grade vidvAns of our sampradAya find it as a very tough work in terms of its contents. However, few important points from that work are being told occassionaly in the vidvat-sathas by such top-grade vidvAns. aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, anantapadmanAbhan.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 > SrI: > SrI UtthamUr VIrarAghavArya mahAdESikAya namaH > > namO nArAyaNa ! Sorry for this belated note : SrI Hari had already replied about this work. aDiyEn provided this info on " ParamArtha-BhUshaNam " since it was already written by me as a brief note on this work - and to double clarify SrI Malolan's query. rAmAnuja dAsan, anand.
