As far as I am aware R\u0101m\u0101nuja never names his opponents in debate. He only argues against their points of view which he finds objectionable. He wrote extensive polemics refuting Advaita but not once did he make any disparaging remarks about Shankar\u0101c\u0101rya himself.<\/p>\n
According to the rules of Tarka (argument and debate) the moment you attack your opponent\u2019s character you have lost the debate.<\/p>\n
It has also been argued that the \u201cBuddha\u201d who was claimed as the avat\u0101ra of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u is not the historical Buddha. The Puranas give totally wrong biographical information about him.<\/p>\n
The Srimad Bhagavatam – the last of the Puranas says:\u2013 buddho n\u0101mn\u0101\u00f1jana-suta\u1e25 k\u012bka\u1e6de\u1e63u bhavi\u1e63yati – “Buddha, who is the son of Anjana will appear in Kikata (Gaya)”.<\/p>\n
So we know for a fact Buddha was born Siddh\u0101rtha Gautama in Kapilavastu in Nepal. So these are two different people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
