Dear Bhagavatas,
I understood that SrIman Nigamanta Vedanta Desikan had
composed the work titled Sathadushani - 100 arguments,
debating the other schools of thought on a firm
footing.
I also heard that there are 66 arguments existing
currently out of the composed 100.
Could learned members of the group guide me to any
links/books available on the said topic.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jayakrishna.
