Swami Samantabhadra.
What are the inevitable faults that arise and how are those faults removed by accepting Syadvada-nyaya or by the influence of Anekantavada, and how is the harmony of the true nature established? * They had no sense of contempt for others in explaining them; they pointed out the way to those who were lost, like showing the way, with love, and made them aware of their mistakes, and this had a good effect on others from their speech, etc. - they had no reason to oppose it. This was the reason and this was the whole charm, which made Samantabhadra rarely face any particular opposition from other sects and he achieved good success in his purpose. - Here we consider it appropriate to reveal that Samantabhadra was the unparalleled master of Syadvada-vidya; he taught others Syadvada
_ * To get a good experience of this subject, one should see Samantabhadra's book called 'Apt-Mimamsa', which is also called 'Devagam'. Here are some of your verses, as a sample, which raise objections to the Advaita-Ekant-paksa
In the Advaita-Ekant-paksa, the difference seen contradicts. The actions of the agents and the actions do not arise from one's own. || 24 || There would be no duality of karma, duality of fruit, duality of world. || 25 || If there is proof of the non-duality of the cause, then there would be non-duality of the cause and the effect. If there is no proof without the cause, then what is the duality of speech and thought? || 26 || Non-duality is not without duality, like a cause without a cause. The negation of the knower is never negated by the negated. || 27 ||
