As the name indicates this work deals with the
Advaitin's theory of
'Jagan mythyatva'(or the world being unreal)'.
The argument based on the proposition that 'anything that is seen
is unreal'(vishvam mythya
drishyatvat) and so the world is unreal,which looks
absurd on the face of it, but which the advaitins try to substantiate
with the example of 'a shell appearing like silver when light falls on
it' ,is shown to be only on a slippery ground.
To conclude this notes on the three khandanas, we
may say that the
three together make the Advaitic philosophy
collapse like a pack of cards.
All the works are very short. They look like the
three feet of Vamana
covering the three worlds under them and putting
down Bali.
'VAmana VAmana BhAmana VandE sAmana seemana shAmana
