#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/
He then explains that if the ātman were destroyed at the end of each kalpa, then duḥkha would also cease and that would be mokṣa and it would be realised w.o any effort. As for the forth, it cannot be that the mokṣamārga leads to 'svanāśa'. 3/
