The Vijfdnavidins differ from the followers of the Upanişads, inasmuch as that while the latter . consider Åtman as one and eternal the Vijäänavådins consider their Vijñana as momentary. These two theories cannot be correct, because it is impossible to deny the existence of 2...... This examination has been fully translated in g 8.
