(äüsUÇm!-2-1-1) ÄSmåtyanavakäçadoñaprasaìga iti cennäanyasmåtyanavakäçadoñaprasaìgät (Brahmasütram-2-1–1) Meaning: If it be objected that (from the doctrine of Brahman being the cause of the world) there would result the defect of there being no room for certain Smritis (we say) no, because (by the rejection of that doctrine) there would result the defect of want of room for some other Smriti. The first chapter, in Çäréraka Mémäàsä Brahmasütra, is meant also very well presented by Veda Vyasa himself in different for Samanvayädhyäya (chapter of harmony). The second aphorisms. Now the first Adhikaranam is chapter is called Avirodhädhyäya (chapter of incontestable). Småtyanavakäçadoñaprasaìgät Bra. Sü. 2|1|1 Names of the chapters provide very insight about intended . subject core of the chapter. This sutra deals with the school of philosophy projected by Säìkhya. “The Mantra from Çvetäçvatara Upaniçat – Sutras are threads like connective substance to bring flower like Upanishad sentences to present how they are connected Åñià prasütam kapilam... ca paçyet. each other. A reader would appreciate the harmony between . Shvetashvatara Upanishat. Upanishad sentences presented by Rishi Veda Vyasa in first Refers Kapila, great preceptor of Säìkhya philosophy is chapter of Çäréraka Mémäàsä Bhäçym (Great commentary one of the great Rishis of yore. Therefore it is mandatory to on Brahmasutras) followed by Acharya Shankara. Säìkhya accept Prakåti – Puruña väda as an authentic one, because school of thought is main oppose (Pradhana Malla – main it has references from Çruti and Småti is Pürvapakña (to be wrestler) in first section of second chapter, because Säìkhya defeated)” says Acharya Shankara. Mémäàsakäs advocated got its own very strong philosophical base chronologically, a theory of considering Çruti to be very much authentic logically also. ‘Other schools of thoughts starting from completely and all other scriptures should support, which is Vaiçeçika (Indian physics) to Cärväka will be defeated by also accepted by other schools of thoughts. Any Småti backs defeating Säìkhya alone’ says Acharya Shankara in his Çruti will be taken as an authentic. When Çruti and Småti commentary, establishing Brahma to be the inherent and are at logger head Småti will be kept away. If Småtis talk in material cause for creation in last Sutra of first chapter. different voice, wise have to examine very carefully. If the The main subject domain here is Srishti Shastra (cosmology), sentences from Småtis contradict each other, the Småti with about cosmic structure, where is it originated from? How is backing from Çruti is there that is to be taken. So that Småti it manifested? How and whereabouts creation of the worlds. is not an independent proof, Brahmakäraëaväda is taken in Orthodox and heterodox philosophical thoughts are projected. this context of two vädas projected, Brahmakäraëaväda and First chapter already “Janmädyasya Yataù”, “Prakåtiçca Prakåtikäraëaväda. Çruti sanctions Brahmakäraëaväda, but Pratijïä Dåñöäntänuparodhät” had focus on Såñöi Çästra Prakåtikäraëaväda got only Småti. That is what Veda Vyasa (cosmology) and Brahmakäraëaväda (Theory of Brahma to says, Småti such as Manusmriti and others. ManuSmriti projects both Brahma and Prakåti as cause of creation. Finally be root cause of all) is very well projected. The wonderful Manu also quotes from Shruti “Sarvabhüteñu Cätmänaà... world in which we are all living is Sat – Chit – Anandam. Svaräjyamadhigacchati” and highlighted by other The existence of the world is perceived through perception. Bhashyakaras. “Bahünäà parañunäà yathä sukham”, these Existing perceiver perceives existing objects. World is of two verses are quoted here. Thus all major works support Brahma substances, perceiver and perceived (Drañöä and Dåçyam). to be the cause of creation. Tarka (logical understanding) Perception makes proof, Caitra perceives objects such as Ghata has limitation in itself, but in this particular Pada Smriti is (pot) and Pata (cloth). Perceiver is established correspondingly the main proof. In second chapter only Tarka will be taken, along with objects.

That is how this Avirodhädhyäya starts with be the cause of creation). While other schools Prakåtiväddés, present Adikaraëa. Anuvädés,Çünyavädés, Éçvaravädés etc… will also be defeated step by step in this chapter. Thoughts of other schools are to be continued...
