Description

The paper manuscript is a commentary titled Padayojanā on the Dvaitaviveka chapter, which is a part of the text Pañcadaśī. The manuscript contains the fourth prakaraṇa, which discusses the dualistic world created by Īśvara and the Jīva. The chapter begins with references to the concept of Jīva in Advaita philosophy are Ātman and Brahman, as well as it all drawn from the Taittirīya, Chāndogya, Muṇḍaka, and Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣads and Smṛti texts. It then proceeds to the nature of duality as perceived by Īśvara and by the Jīva. Īśvara is the creator. While the Jīva becomes entangled in dreams, emotions, and attachments to objects, Īśvara remains steady. The duality experienced by the Jīva differs from the duality attributed to Īśvara. Ultimately, the goal is to remove the mental obstacles created by the Jīva in order to attain liberation.The Padayojanā commentary runs parallel to the main root text, appearing both above and below it.
