[Advaita-l] Basic concepts of anumAna-pramANa

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Reg // On page 78 of VivaraNa UpanyAsa by DakshiNAmUrti Math, there is a
clear statement made: *अतः वेदान्त परिभाषा का 'अनुमितिकरणं च
व्याप्तिज्ञानम्' यह कथन विवरणानुसारी नहीं है //,*

That is right. This has for reference the statement by PanchapAdikA cited
in the above text just prior to the above quote. This PanchapadikA
statement is the subject matter for the talk by Sri MDS referred to by me.
Thus there is a direct contradiction between  VivaraNa UpanyAsa by
DakshiNAmUrti Math and Sri MDS on *'अनुमितिकरणं च व्याप्तिज्ञानम्'. *

*Regards*
