Which one of the Vedantic systems advocates avikṛta pariṇāmavāda ?

  • A.Advaita
  • B.Visishtādvaita
  • C.Dvaita
  • D.Shuddhādvaita

Answer: D

Avikṛta pariṇāmavāda is advocated by Shuddhādvaita.

Vallabha's Śuddhādvaita holds that Brahman really transforms itself into the world, yet remains unchanged by the transformation, as gold remains gold in ornaments. The world is thus a real but 'unmodified' manifestation of Brahman.

Advaita holds vivārtavāda, an apparent transformation. Viśiṣṭādvaita accepts a real transformation of Brahman's body (pariṇāmavāda) without the 'unmodified' qualification, and Dvaita treats the world as distinct from God rather than his transformation.
