It is only such anumana that is supportive of sruti spoken about here. I'm sure that's clear. Sastrika tarka not lokyia tarka. It is interesting to reflect on the precise role of tarka versus Sruti.


  *   We must wonder how palatable these statements are to purely dry logicians who prefer mere tarka over bhAshya and shruti??  😊 shrutyanugraheeta tarka / yukti does not mean anything to them!!  And for them shruti is NOT the untya pramANa for the brahma jignAsa but tarka/logic is the pramANa over shruti despite shruti itself saying that naishA tarkeNa matirApaneya (its knowledge cannot be obtained through mere logic.  But even for these categorical statements also logicians have their own excuses to replace logic over shruti verdict.  But being vaidika-s NOT mere dry logicians we have to completely rely on the supremacy of the shruti pramANa and shruti anugraheeta tarka when doing the mananaM.  I am really surprised statements like : why ONLY shankara bhAshya, why ONLY shruti when logic itself is suffice !!  Etc. floating smoothly without being questioned by socalled orthodox followers of shankara’s Advaita 😊

Here's a couple of pages from SSSS commenting on this issue. Though he agrees on the role of tarka but based only on sastrika adhyaropa apavada - different from PSA analysis.


  *   It seems you have done an unpardonable sin by sharing Sri SSS’s take on this!!  Because according to some his observations/logic etc. goes against even to the logic of average student of 8th standard student 😊

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
