Which one of the following is the advocate of five differences (Panchabheda) ?

  • A.Samkara
  • B.Ramanuja
  • C.Madhva
  • D.Vallabha

Answer: C

The advocate of the five differences (pancabheda) is Madhva, so the answer is C.

Madhva's Dvaita holds five eternal differences: between God and the soul, between God and matter, between the soul and matter, between one soul and another, and between one material thing and another.

Samkara (A) denies all difference in the ultimate, Ramanuja (B) holds difference in unity, and Vallabha (D) holds pure non-dualism, so none of them teaches the five differences.
