While there are more detailed and systematic refutation of Sankhya system elsewhere, Swami Sri Desikan devotes two verses in Para-Mada- Bhangam prabhandham (#36 and #37) to severely criticize it. Swami says in #36, "pakkaNa veeNar pazham pakattai pazhudhAkkuvamE" Here, Swami compares Sankhya-vAdam to the babble coming out the foolish and uneducated. He concludes verse #36 with a grand declaration that he will trash their (SankhyavAdees) gaudy boastfulness. In verse #37 Swami says only utter ruin awaits those who subscribe to the Sankhya view, which we roundly reject. "nAsam aladu ilai kANum .... nAm isaiyA sAnkiyatthai nAduvArkkE" -- Dileepan
