Six Systems of Philosophy.
षट्स्थानक संक्षेपमां षट्दर्शन पण तेह | समजावा परमार्थने कह्यां ज्ञानीए एह ॥ ४४ ॥
पदस्थानीयं समासेन दर्शनानि षडुच्यते । प्रोक्ता सा ज्ञानिभिर्ज्ञातुं परं तत्त्वं धरास्पृशाम् ॥ ४४ ॥
These six parts given briefly, are really the six schools of Philosophy, also. The wise men have described (these six points) for explaining the highest ideal.
Commentary. — Sri Brahma Deva's com - mentary to Dravya Samgraha Gatha 2 quoted above tells us that the nine points in it are given to refute the errors of the different schools of Philosophy then current. Here it is enough to note that the existence of the soul is dealt with in Vedant and Vaishashika; its Eternity in Buddhism and Nyaya; its agency and enjoyment in Sankhya etc; its liberation and means of liberation in all systems.
