Interesting story of #खण्डनखण्डखाद्यम् (A sweet candy of Refutation)

The Vada,Jalpa and Vitanda are three modes of debates{Nyaya 1.1.1, Nyaya 1.2.1-3)

Advaitins have their granthas on all three modes which are called बृहत् प्रस्थानत्रयी

This one is the वितण्डा ग्रन्थ.

Sri Harsa (श्रीहर्ष) was a very famous advaitin who appeared in कन्नौज during 11th-12th century. He was the minister at the court of kanyakubja king. He was a very great poet who is the writer of the world famous "नैषधचरितम्".

The name of the father of श्रीहर्ष was श्रीहीर . His father once had a very intense debate with a राजपंडितin which he lost. His father did the aradhana of Bhagvati,got the blessings for his son. He told a mantra to his wife which was to be given to श्रीहर्ष in future.

Acharyas and Their commentary on Brahmsutra 3.1.25 "अशुद्धमिति चेन्न शब्दात्".{about पशु्याग}

The commentary of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya ji is famous which says
"Do not harm any creature,but that is a general rule, while the precept, 'let him offer an animal to agnishoma' embodies an exception; and general rule and exception have different spheres of application".

Bhagvan Ramanujacharya ji writes it as:-
"For scripture declares that the killing of sacrificial animals makes them to go up to the heavenly world, and therefore is not of the nature of harm. An action which is the means of supreme exaltation is not of the nature of harm"

How many rounds(भांवर) are right during marriages? 4 or 7

In Gujrat we have 4 rounds. 7 rounds are quite popular in UP,Himanchal,bihar and many other states✨

Does the concept of tradition applies here?

Shastras too falls under tradition. A tradition which does not go against श्रुति-स्मृति is considered right others are wrong.
+
A tradition that does not mentioned in shruti smritis(as मंगलसूत्र) is right because it contradicts none.

पारस्कर ग्रह्यसूत्र of the shukla yajurveda which is very famous among pandits states:-
चतुर्थं शूर्पकुष्ठया सर्वाल्लाजानावपति भगाय स्वाहेति ।
4th time all the लाजा's{Kheels} should be sacrificed in fire then they do the last parikrama as said in 7th sutra

✨Indra and Ahilya ✨

I'm going to cover the Vedic perspective+ I will cover historical aspect also.

This story comes in Valmiki Ramayana,Devi Bhagvatam ,BrahmVaivarta that "Indra made physical relations with Devi ahilya(wife of महर्षि गौतम) . Hence Indra is called जार(lover, destroyer) of अहिल्या.

Indra is called the जार of ahalya in these sections of Vedas:-
अहल्यायै जारेति। अहल्याया ह मैत्रेय्या जार आस {ShādVimsa Brahmana 1.1}
अहल्यायै जारेति {Shatpath 3.3.4.18}

✨Slavery in Vedas✨

There are random articles on the internet which interprets the term दास, दासी as Slaves or "female Slaves". They try to prove this similar to the western slavery. Lets have a look at their claims:-,

Yesterday,Someone DMed this to me. I wasn't able to find the original source.

I looked at all the similar claims and I found out that all the articles have imagined "slavery" and injustice just by the word Dasā and provided nothing to substantiate their claims.

Be it the references from the rigveda samhita or the brahman of the samhita( ऐतरेय) They just mention the term दास or दासी. They do not mention what is done to them,what are their Works.
It can't be called slavery. It is "servitude"
