Shatadushani

The Shatadushani (Sanskrit: शतदूषणी, romanized: Śatadūṣaṇī) is a polemical treatise[1] written by the Hindu philosopher Vedanta Desika (1278-1369).

[5] It is said that at the age of around 50 or 55, Vedanta Desika was invited by his disciples at Srirangam to engage in a polemical debate with a group of Advaitins from North India.

[6] Surendranath Dasgupta, in his magnum opus The history of Indian Philosophy, has allotted almost 40 pages for this particular book of Vedanta Desika in the third volume of the series.

R. Kesava Aiyangar, a senior advocate of the Supreme Court of India has written an exhaustive introduction to this work in English for the book titled Vedanta Desika's Shatadushani by Srivatsankacharya.

Umamaheshvara's Virodha-varudhini (or Virodha-varuthini) discusses contradictions in Shatadushani and other Vishishtadvaita works.
