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"
