> The six darsanams that NammAzhwAr refers to here have

>
> (1) The six religionslisted by  AchArya RaamAnujA are
>    Bhouddham, ChArvAkam, NaiyAyka-VaisEshikams of
> GouthamA, Jainam , Saankhyam and Yogam .These six are
> also known as Saakhya, ulUkhya, AkshapAtha ,KshapaNa ,
> Kapila and Pathanjali darsanams based on the people ,
> who developed them or wrote commentaries .
>
> (2) In another counting , these six are recognized as
>    Saankhyam , Yogam ,Bhouddham ,VaisEshikam ,Jainam
> and Paasupatham .
>
> (3) In yet another counting , these six are :
> ChArvAkam , Jainam and four types of Bhouddham (
> VaibhAshikam and   SautrAntikam of HeenayAnam and
> yOgAchAram and nihilism of MahAyAnam sects).
>
> The various darsanams listed above fall into the
> categories of Naasthika and Aasthika darsanams . The
> Naasthika darsanams like ChArvAkam ( materialistic
> atheism), Buddhism and Jainism are systems of thought
> that do not accept the authority of the VedAs and deny
> the tattvams such as Soul (Jevan ) and God (Isvaran ),
> which Aasthika mathams accept as fundamental to their
> beliefs .Naasthika mathams are called Veda Baahya
> mathams and the Aasthika Mathams are saluted as
> Vaidhika Mathams.
>
> The six Aasthika mathams are: NyAya, VaisEshika
> ,Saankhya, Yoga, MimAmsa and VEDHAANTHA darsanams .
> Around 1000 CE, the NyAyA and vaisEshikA systems came
> together and became amalgamated into one system.There
> is not much of a difference between them now.
>
> Even among the set of six Aasthika mathams , there are
>
> different degrees of acceptance of the VedAs . NyAya ,
>
> VaisEshika , Saankhya and YogA have admitted the
> validity of the VedAs in a tangential way , while
> staking their claims to be aasthika mathams.The
> MimAmsA and the VedAnthA are the truly Aasthika
> mathams .
>
> Swami Desikan describes at great length these
> darsanams and their deficencies and sufficencies in
> His Paramatha Bhangam, Tattva muktha kalApam and its
> commentary , SarvArtha siddhi.
>
> Swami Desikan thoroughly evaluates these darsanams to
> establish the unimpeachable doctrines of Sri
> VisihtAdvaidham over all the other darsanams .
>
> Among the mathams rooted in VedAntham, there are many
> such as
> Adhvaitham of SankarA,
> Dhvaitham of MaadhvAchArya, VisishtAdhvaitham of
> Naathamuni- AalavandhAr - RaamAnujA,
> SuddhAdhvaitham of  VallabhAchAryA,
> BhEdhAbhEdham , DhvaidhAdhvaitham of Nimbarkar
> et al.
> Among these VedAthantha darsanams , VisishtAdhvaitham
> ,
> Dhvaitham , SuddhAdhvaitham and dhvaithAdhvaitham
> accept a personal God in the form of VISHNU .
>
> In his SathadhUshaNi, Swami Desikan has severely
> criticized the deficiencies of Adhvaitham with clarity
> and precision. Swami Desikan dealt in great detail
> about the untenability of key doctrines of Adhvaitham
> in one of his magnum opus, Tattva Muktha kalApA and
> focused on proving the untenability of these
> Adhvaithic concepts:
> (1) NirguNa nirvisEsha Brahmam (2) nature of nescience
> (avidhyA) (3) anivarchanIyakhyAti (4) AkhaNDArtha
> Vaadham and (5) Illusory nature of the world.
>
> Swami used the teachings of AchArya RaamAnujA in Sri
> Bhaashyam and its commentary , Srutha PrakAsikA in
> constructing his irrefutable arguments .
>
> Swami Desikan went on to correct the misreading of
> the NyAya and MeemAmsa darsanams that were prevalent
> and established their compatibility with
> VisishtAdhvaic
> doctrines in his Sri Sookthis known as NyAya
> parisudhdi , NyAya SiddhAnkjanam, SEsvara MeemAmsA. In
> the first two Sri Sookthis , Swami travelled on the
> path pointed out by AchArya  Naathamuni in his Sri
> Sookthi, NyAya tattvam. In that classic Sri Sookthi ,
> AchArya Naathamuni recast the NyAyA darsanam to suit
> the needs of VisishtAdhvaitham.
>
> Swami Desikan refined the presentation of the NyAyA
> system by AkshapAdhA ;in NyAya SiddhAnjanam , Swami
> Desikan clarified the metaphysical concepts of
> VaisEshikA system in the light of VisishtAdhvaitham .
> In SEsvara MimAmsA, Swami Desikan showed that the
> Poorva MimAmsa SoothrAs of Jaimini is in harmony with
> the Brahma soothrAs of BaadarAyaNA. He rejected
> the view that PoorvamimAmsA was opposed to Uttara
> MimAmsA or VedAnthA.
>
> Swami established that MimAmsA is a unitary Saasthram
> (Yeka Saasthram ) in two parts (Poorva and Uttara ).
> The greatness of the Swami Desikan's contributions
> is very evident in the Para matha Bhangam created
> in front of Sri DevanAtha PerumAL on the banks of
> Garuda nathi in the environs of ThiriuvahIdhrapuram
> to defend Sri VisishtAdhvaitham as the soundest
> among all VedAntha darsanams.
