Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

List IList II
(a) Jivas(1) Liberation
(b) Vaikunṭha(2) Nitya, Mukta, Baddha
(c) Prapatti(3) Nitya Jivas
(d) Ramanuja(4) Brahmapariṇāmavāda

  • A.(a)-(1), (b)-(2), (c)-(3), (d)-(4)
  • B.(a)-(2), (b)-(3), (c)-(1), (d)-(4)
  • C.(a)-(1), (b)-(3), (c)-(2), (d)-(4)
  • D.(a)-(4), (b)-(3), (c)-(2), (d)-(1)

Answer: B

The correct code is (a)-(2), (b)-(3), (c)-(1), (d)-(4).

  • (a) In Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita, jivas are of three kinds: nitya (eternal), mukta (liberated) and baddha (bound).
  • (b) Vaikuntha is the transcendent abode of Vishnu, where the nitya jivas, the eternally free souls, dwell.
  • (c) Prapatti, complete self-surrender to God, is the means to liberation.
  • (d) Ramanuja holds Brahmaparinamavada: the world is a real transformation of Brahman, not an illusion.

Only this code pairs jivas with the threefold division (2); the other codes give jivas liberation or Brahmaparinamavada, so they are wrong.
