Siddhitraya
Overview
The Siddhitraya (Sanskrit: सिद्धित्रयम्, romanized: Siddhitrayam) is a Sanskrit treatise written in the 10th century by the Hindu philosopher Yamunacharya. Regarded to be the largest and the most prominent work of Yamunacharya, the Siddhitraya was an important foundational text for the philosophy of Vishishtadvaita. It offers refutations of the philosophical positions of Advaita and other Hindu schools.
The work consists of three sections, expounding the author's positions on the "three demonstrations": the concepts of ātmasiddhi (demonstration of individual self), īśvarasiddhi (demonstration of God), and saṁvitsiddhi (demonstration of reality in the empirical world). All three sections of the work are regarded to be incomplete.
