Dear Scholars,
I have some basic questions about the date of the Brahma Sutras of
Badarayana.
Sampradaya identifies the identity of badarayana with Veda Vyasa, the
redactor of the Vedas, Itihaasa-s and Purana-s. The latter's age is
said to be around the end of the Treta Yuga, i.e around 3100 BCE.
If Badarayana is identified with Veda Vyasa, some problems arise.
This is because the brahma Sutras of badarayana refer to
Buddhist/Jaina/Naasthika doctrines which are known to have
historically been existent only after 400 BCE.
If such be the case above, how is badarayana the same as Veda Vyasa?
Regards,
Malolan
