Vedarthasamgraha

The Vedarthasamgraha (Sanskrit: वेदार्थसंग्रह, romanized: Vedārthasaṃgraha),[1] also rendered Vedarthasangraha, is a treatise by the Hindu philosopher Ramanuja,[2] comprising his exegesis of a number of Upanishadic texts.

He also opposes the Bhedabheda school of Yadavaprakasa, one of his teachers, which posited that the individual self and Brahman are both really different and non-different, arguing that the very concept is inherently contradictory.

He begins with the ontological basis of the philosophy, called tattva, explaining the relationship between Brahman, Jiva, and Prakrti.

He offers assertions for the validity of pramanas (sources of knowledge) and arguments for the belief that Narayana (Vishnu) is the Para Brahman (Supreme Reality).

He affirms the existence of Vaikuntha, the celestial abode of Vishnu, referred to as Nitya Vibhuti and Paramapada, on scriptural basis.
