## Devagam-Aapta-Mimamsa
(Bodha and Vachanaroopa) It is necessary to accept the arguments against (dushan-pramanas) which are completely impossible in absolute nihilism, because both are in the form of existence (bhav). - In the 13th, it has been shown that accepting the object as both absolute existence and absolute non-existence leads to contradiction, and accepting it as completely inexpressible (anirvachaneeya) leads to the fault of not being able to express it even with the word 'inexpressible'.
From 14-22, through 9 karikas, the object is established as anekantaatmak (multifaceted) by Syadvadnaya (relativism), meaning it possesses both existence (vidhi) and non-existence (nishedha) in contradictory pairs, making it saptabhangatmak (seven-faceted). The 23rd karika suggests applying the saptabhangi (seven-facetedness) to the object by considering contradictory pairs like one-many, eternal-non-eternal, etc.
Thus, this first chapter examines the one-sided beliefs regarding existence and non-existence that were prevalent and deeply rooted during the author's time. It also establishes the saptabhangi-anekanta by harmonizing them with the Nay-vivksha (relativistic perspective).
## Second Chapter:
The second chapter contains 13 karikas from 24-36. The first four karikas (24-27) review Advaitaikant (absolute monism) and state that accepting the object as absolutely one makes it impossible to have differences in action, differences in agents, karma-dvaita (duality of karma) in the form of merit and demerit, phala-dvaita (duality of fruits) in the form of happiness and sorrow, loka-dvaita (duality of realms) in the form of this world and the next, jnana-dvaita (duality of knowledge) in the form of knowledge and ignorance, and the two states of the soul, pure and impure, in the form of bandha-moksha (bondage and liberation). Besides this, when proving Advaita through reason, it is not only necessary but also mandatory to accept the duality of means and ends. If Advaita is accepted without reason, then duality should also be accepted without reason. Additionally, in Advaita, it is also worth considering whether the word 'dvaita' in the word 'advaita' refers to duality or not? Because the object named by a word...
