Vortrag


In his Tantrav?rttika, Kum?rila groups the S??khyas, Yogas, P?ñcar?tras and P??upatas alongside the Buddhists and Jains as producers of texts which contradict the Veda. Scholars have pointed to this passage as providing evidence that there was, in Kum?rila’s time, no sense of a shared orthodoxy among traditions now counted as Hindu. But from the third or fourth century CE, numerous works in Sanskrit also list S??khya, Yoga, Pañcar?tra and P??upata alongside the Veda, and assert their partial or total compatibility with it. The lecture will present a brief history of this fivefold grouping, focusing particularly on the ways it has been used within Ved?nta.
