Trividha Duḥkhanivṛtti (Absolute cessation of suffering) as the ideal is mentioned by :

  • A.Cārvākas
  • B.Sāṃkhyas
  • C.Yoga
  • D.Advaita Vedānta

Answer: B

The ideal is set out by the Sāṃkhyas.

The Sāṃkhya Kārikā opens with the threefold suffering: ādhyātmika (from within, bodily and mental), ādhibhautika (from other beings) and ādhidaivika (from supernatural or natural forces). Its stated aim is the absolute and final cessation of all three, which seen and Vedic means cannot give.

The Cārvākas seek pleasure, not cessation of suffering. Yoga and Advaita share the goal of liberation, but the formula of the threefold suffering is the Sāṃkhya's own starting point.
