[Advaita-l] Apaurusheyatva of Vedas.

[kuntimaddi sadananda]

Sir - abaadhita is already implied in the very pramANa definition. Thanks for pointing out that I missed to restate again.
Hari Om!
Sadananda

Wrong.
One people told you about a ghost which is not known by you with any
pramANa. Are you going to set pramANa tag with that word ?
So, we need abAdhitatvam too. You told this but not here.
Again, what if we have doubt about character of the person uttering veda-s.
You can not determine that veda-s are pramANa in that case, even if they
actually are. So, you need to shatter away that doubt too. And that is done
by tagging it apauruSheya.
So, veda-s are pramAna because they are apauruSheya.


For rest of your post :
Your problem is that you don't even think about other parts of veda which
don't say anything about brahma-GYAnam
and
You take is granted that oneness is a fact without fixing validity of
veda-s, who first told you about that, prior to it. How can you expect to
accept something without fixing validity of only pramANa telling about it ?
Again, I leave it for others to explain. They are really good at it. ;)
