TEXT 42

ei ta' kalpita artha mane nāhi bhāya

śāstra chāḍi' kukalpanā pāṣaṇḍe bujhāya

SYNONYMS

ei ta'—this; kalpita—imaginary; artha—meaning; mane—to the mind; nāhi—does not; bhāya—appeal; śāstra—the authoritative scriptures; chāḍi'-giving up; ku-kalpanā—mischievous imagination; pāṣaṇḍe—to the atheistic class of men; bujhāya—teaches.

TRANSLATION

"Śrīpād Śaṅkarācārya has given his interpretation and imaginary meaning. It does not actually appeal to the mind of any sane man. He has done this to convince the atheists and bring them under his control.

PURPORT

Śrīpād Śaṅkarācārya's propaganda opposed the atheistic philosophy of Buddha. Lord Buddha's intention was to stop atheists from committing the sin of killing animals. Atheists cannot understand God; therefore Lord Buddha appeared and spread the philosophy of nonviolence to keep the atheists from killing animals. Unless one is free from the sin of animal killing, he cannot understand religion or God. Although Lord Buddha was an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, he did not speak about God, for the people were unable to understand. He simply wanted to stop animal killing. Śrīpād Śaṅkarācārya wanted to establish the predominance of one's spiritual identity; therefore he wanted to convert the atheists through an imaginary interpretation of Vedic literatures. These are the secrets of the ācāryas. Sometimes they conceal the real purpose of the Vedas and explain the Vedas in a different way. Sometimes they enunciate a different theory just to bring the atheists under their control. Thus it is said that Śaṅkara's philosophy is for pāṣaṇḍas, atheists.
