The idea of multiplicity evolving out of unity is taken up in Vedānta also but with a different view of reality. The Bhāskara school of Vedānta, known as the school of Tridaṇḍins, advocates Brahmapariṇāmavāda, viz. the theory of the *Brahman* transforming itself into the multifarious world. He being the material cause, the phenomena are His real *vikāras* (modifications). *Brahman* in fact is an undifferentiated unitary mass of pure consciousness.
