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. - [Previous: c8.s5.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.32) - [Next: c8.s5.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.34) - [Up: c8.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.33) · Pramāṇa
