"Philosophy attempts to arrive at a conception of the reality as a whole. It seeks to have a world view. It investigates the nature of the reality including nature, soul, God. It tries to interpret the meaning and value of human life and its relation to the world in which we live. Philosophy in this sense is the criticism of life and experience. "103 Philosophy and culture are the two eyes of human life. If culture could be treated as light that exposes the worthy path or way of the life, philosophy would be the pioneer guide that ensues the thoughts as to how to lead the life on that path. Thoughts, flashed from philosophy, would be more meaningful and useful if they are referred to and related with real aspects of knowledge. The philosophy is the branch of knowledge or science that pursues an inquiry into Truth (Ultimate). It is defined: "Philosophy is the highest form of inquiry just because it alone involves no presuppositions." Philosophy as the knowledge ultimates... Shorter Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines philosophy as "that department of knowledge which deals with ultimate reality, or with the most general 104 causes and principles of things. In course of inquiry, it also discusses and reviews the sources and means of

realizing the Ultimate Truth and also related aspects, that are also truthful (real). 28 There lie different opinions among Scholars regarding the existence of Ultimate Truth and also related aspects. 105 If some negate verily the existence, others, though admit, 106 disregard the auspicious form of that, and some others ledge. go to the extent of depriving it of being an object of knowAnd it is Madhva, who for the first time in the history of philosophy, has tackled this issue convincingly and also in a manner agreeable to thought and reason. The propriety lies in his argument and exposition that the Ultimate 108 Truth must be real at 鈽� all times. When truth is real, the sources and means to realize that must also be real. ( Madhva is not silent at this point of argument but traces the valid sources and means thereof precisely. 109 The reason, emerged from thought, must have the support of infallible means. The reason cannot work independently, since it may sometimes give scope to counter-arguments 110 and the like. Therefore, Madhva stresses the valid support and in his opinion, the infallible testimony, the Veda is the valid support. Madhva shows the significance of this and of others in his works. 111

112 Vadiraja, closely following Madhva, upholds the view in his works. He affords the important place for reason in his works, particularly in the Yuktimallika. In his opinion, Yukti is not merely the bare reason but something more. Yukti in the Yuktimallika, not only appears in the form of reason, but it is an activating element that enables the mind to have the knowledge of discrimination. Its scope is wider and broader. It is reason with series of arguments graced with befitting and apt analogies. It stands supported by valid proofs - Pratyaksa, infallible testimony, the Vedas and the like.
