ձṅkṭaٳ (वेङ्कटना�).—A Sanskrit poet who lived in the 14th century A.D. He completed nearly hundred and twentyfive poetic works. These are written in Sanskrit and Prākṛta. The major poetic work "Rāghavābhyudaya" of ձṅkṭaٳ consists of twentyfour kāṇḍas. This is a beautiful poetic work. Appayyadīkṣitar has written a commentary on this work. This poet ձṅkṭaٳ, who was also known by the name "Vedāntadeśika", was a great philosopher too. It is said that his native place was Tuppil, near Khānsi. Most of his works are based on theosophy and on the philosophy of oneness of man with God.

ձṅkṭaٳ was born in 1268 and died in November 1369, as critics say. Even today he is esteemed and venerated as a divine person.

General definition (in Hinduism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Venkatanatha in Hinduism glossary
: IKGA: Asia

ձṅkṭaٳ, or Vedāntadeśika, traditionally dated 1270-1369, is one of the most important representatives of the South Indian school of Rāmānuja. ձṅkṭaٳ systematized the tradition’s teachings and laid down the doctrines that are authoritative for the Vaṭakalai, the tradition’s northern, Sanskrit-oriented sub-sect, thus having a decisive influence on its further development. ձṅkṭaٳ wrote more than a hundred works, with subjects including theology, philosophy, dramas and poetry, and wrote in three languages, Sanskrit, Tamil and Maṇipravāḷa. Despite ձṅkṭaٳ's great significance, very few of his works have been translated or studied.
