According to Rāmānuja, relationship between soul and body is ............

  • A.Apṛthaksiddhi
  • B.Āyutasiddhi
  • C.Prapatti
  • D.Samavāya

Answer: A

The relationship is Apṛthaksiddhi.

Ramanuja describes the relation between Brahman and the world, and between the soul and its body, as aprthaksiddhi, inseparable relation. The body cannot exist apart from the soul that supports and controls it, just as the world and souls are the body of Brahman and cannot exist apart from Him, though they are distinct.

Samavaya, inherence, is the Nyaya-Vaisheshika relation, which Ramanuja rejects because it would lead to an infinite regress. Ayutasiddhi is a Nyaya term for things found only together. Prapatti is self-surrender, a means to liberation, not a relation.
