SrI: Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs : Today , we will study the two paasurams that house Swamy Desikan's criticism of the Third of the Four Mathams associated with Buddhism : SouthrAnthikam . 171) Refutation of the SautrAntika Matham ********************************** PoruL onRu ilathu yenRu bhOdham onRum kONDa poyyarai nAmm teruL kONDu theertha pinnkANavoNNA poruL tEDuhinRa maruL koNDa soothu uraikkum SoutthhirAnthakan vaNNikkai nAmm iruL koNDa pAzhamkiNaRu yenRu ihazhnthu Ooda viyampuvamE (Meaning) : YogAchAran has the doctrine that there are no external objects and that Jn~Anam alone exists. We (Swamy Desikan ) refuted those views with our special Jn~Anam acquired from our AchAryAs in the previous adhikAram. The Buddhist belonging to SautrAnthika Matham accepts the reality of external objects. The SautrAnthikan due to his ignorance tries to use beguiling ruses to prove the existence of the external objects and internal entities through anumAnam (inference ). His unconvincing arguments are like the Paazhum KiNaRu ( dark and dangerous empty well ). If any one stumbles in to this type of well will lose his life . We (Swamy Desikan ) criticized severely the SautrAnthika Matham so that VivEkis will develop a distaste for this Matham and stay away from it. 172) The Inconsistencies of the SautrAntikan's doctrines ******************************************* nilayillA poruL mathiyai viLaitthu tAnn sER niRam kodutthu tAnn azhiyum tannAl vantha nilayillA mathi tannil niRatthaik-kANum ithu kANum poruL kANNKai yenRa neesan mulai illAt-tAai koduttha mulaip-paal uNNUm muhamilla mozhi yenavE mozhintha vArtthai talai illAt-taaL oorum kaNakkAi ninRa kattaLai nAmm kaNDu inRu kaattinOmE (Meaning): In contrast to YogAchAran , SautrAnthikan accepts the existence of external objects. SautrAntikan's doctrine is: External objects generate Jn~Anam and hand over the white , yellow and other colors to that Jn~Anam and become extinct. Therefore , the Indhriyams can not apprehend /comprehend these objects , which have the svabhAvam of extinction after enriching Jn~Anam about their attributes like their colors. Even id these external objects cease to exist, we can comprehend the objects through the information transferred to Jn~Anam about the colors through a process of anumAnam (inference). Even this Jn~Anam with transferred information on the colors of the external objects becomes extinct in a trice (KshaNam ). This Jn~Anam is equivalent to the AathmA. This Jn~Anam will enjoy the colors like blue , yellow et al that has been given to it by the external objects. This anubhavam is termed Vasthu SaakshAthkAram. In SautrAntikan's doctrine , one has to accept that Jn~Anam is generated after the birth of the Vasthu . That vasthu exists for a KshaNam and ceases to exist after that kshaNam . During that KshaNam of its existence , the external object creates Jn~Anam and imparts information about itself to Jn~Anam and thereafter the external object ceases to exist . Thus this external object that is destined to become extinct in a kshaNam has to be born first, Create Jn~Anam in the first second , transfer the information to Jn~Anam in the second Second and in the third second has to become extinct. This is totally impossible to concieve . Further, the Jn~Anam housing the imparted information also becomes extinct after a KshaNam . First second, Jn~Anam is born , the next second it becomes the repository of information from the external objects and in the third second , it has to become extinct . How can that Jn~Anam accomplish Vasthu SaakshAthkAram ( Visualization of external objects )? It is inconceivable and imposisble . The situation here is similar to the baby helping itself to mother's mik from a mother , who has no breasts; it is like speaking , when there is no face ; it is like the movement by the feet , when there is no head in the body to command it. Thus we refute the inconsistent and unsound theories of SautrAnthikam says Swamy Desikan in this Paasuram.
