[Advaita-l] ***UNCHECKED*** Re: Vaadiraaja Teertha's Yuktimallika - Advaita Criticism - Slokas 1-511 to 1-524

[H S Chandramouli]

In continuation to my earlier post,



Regarding inclusion or exclusion of smrti as a case of valid knowledge,
notes 1 of the translation by Sri Suryanarayana Shastri has this to say.



Quote  << The author of the present treatise defines prAmAnya in two ways,
so as to provide for the exclusion or the inclusion of smrti.
Non-sublatability is common to both definitions, while novelty comes in,
only where smrti is desired to be ruled out >>   Unquote.



This would appear to indicate that in the version cited in the original
post on the subject, smrti is indeed accepted as a case of valid knowledge.
I am open to correction in this understanding.
