#Veṅkaṭanātha discussing the nature of #jīva in TMK II.17: There are four groups of people who think that the the ātman is not permanent: 1. the ātman is of the nature of cognition and therefore destroyed at each new cognition (Buddhist Epistemological school?) 1/
2. the ātman is destroyed w the body, 3. the ātman is destroyed at pralaya (these are the Paurāṇikas), 4. the ātman is destroyed at mokṣa (Advaita Vedāntins?). 2/
