Dear Bhagavatas: I cannot agree more with what Sri Venkatesan says: "I will also request you to kindly close this topic unless someone presents educational, researched material in support of their views". In fact, my original query was for seeking Pramanam for the two Thanianas "attributed" to Pillai Lokacharya and Swami Desika respectively. This has not been answered fully to the satisfaction of all. Further discussions on this subject would only to disrupt our focus of highlighting the areas of agreement and not harping on the differences. Unless someone comes up with appropriate Pramanams for both the claims, acceptable to all, no further discussions on the subject can be allowed. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy Moderator =========================================================================== Dear Sri Anbil Swami and others, AdiyEn does not want to keep going along this thread unless logical, acceptable data is presented. Yet I see notes such as this that says "your thennacharya" etc. Early on I had made note of the fact that I was presenting arguments from an objective perspective and not from a kalai perspective. Regarding the pramAnam presented by Sri Dileepan I have already explained the objections to it by Thennacharya scholars - we are all aware that not all statements from the acharya prabhavams of either side are accepted by the others; knowing that, they can be used as universal pramaNams only when they are equally accepted by all scholars. The note is also incorrect because I had never said that Lokacharya Panchasat was authored by Sri Desika. In fact, I agreed with others that proof should be asked for its authorship (as well as for some other granthas which went practically unchallenged). It is also interesting to note that Sri PBA Swami and Sri Purisai Swami are quoted in reference but their objections to the authorship of the Seeronru thaniyan is largely ignored. I know they are being quoted to show that not all Thennacharya scholars agree on the authorship of the said grantha; nevertheless I think it is misleading to use them just for this one count. I will also request you to kindly close this topic unless someone presents educational, researched material in support of their views. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan TCA Venkatesan http://www.acharya.org --- vedanta desikan <kavitaarkikasimhan@xxxx> wrote: > > Dear mr Venkatesan, > > > > Recently I saw ur mails in bhakti list.
