Dear Sri Malolan Cadambi, As adiyEn heard from a scholar during Kalakshepams, the so called doctrines of Buddhism etc. were in existent even before the advent of the Buddha, Mahavir etc. and therefore there need be no doubt about the references to these in the Brahma Sutras of Badarayana who was none other than Veda Vyasa. Such ideas or views get boosted up by some personalities who become attracted by these ideas. Even in Ramayana, atheistic ideas are discussed and rejected.

Dear Scholars,

I have some basic questions about the date of the Brahma Sutras of
Badarayana.

Sampradaya identifies the identity of badarayana with Veda Vyasa, the
redactor of the Vedas, Itihaasa-s and Purana-s. The latter's age is
said to be around the end of the Treta Yuga, i.e around 3100 BCE.

If Badarayana is identified with Veda Vyasa, some problems arise.

This is because the brahma Sutras of badarayana refer to
Buddhist/Jaina/Naasthika doctrines which are known to have
historically been existent only after 400 BCE.

If such be the case above, how is badarayana the same as Veda Vyasa?

Regards,

Malolan
