Samkara's Mayavada is criticized on seven grounds by :

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

Answer: A

Mayavada is criticised on seven grounds by Ramanuja.

In the Sri Bhashya, Ramanuja sets out the seven untenabilities (saptavidha anupapatti) of Shankara's doctrine of maya or avidya: about its locus (ashraya), its nature (tirodhana, concealment), its essential character (svarupa), its indescribability (anirvachaniyatva), the means of knowing it (pramana), its removal by knowledge (nivartaka) and its cessation (nivritti).

Vallabha, Madhva and Nimbarka also rejected Mayavada, but the classic critique on seven counts is Ramanuja's.
