Vatsya Varadagurus Traktat Von der Transzendenz des Brahma in der Kontroverstheologischen Tradition der Schule

The author examines two chapters of Varadagurus (the first half of 13th century.A.D.) Prameyamala from the historical context of the still living tradition of the school of Visistradvaitavedanta. The first chapter is devoted to the question of how the Absolutes state of being unaffected by the three limitations referring to that of place, time and being is determined. The second chapter from the background of the theological position of Ramanujas (11th century A.D.) deals with his body-definition that the being of the World is the body of the Absolute (brahma = Visnu). Apart from the systematic question the work deals the historical development of both teaching positions up to the time of Venkatanatha (14th century A.D.).
