바가바따 뿌라나(Bhāgavata Purāṇa)에 나타난 상캬 사상 이해- Īśvarakṛṣṇa의 Sāṃkhya Kārikā의 상캬 사상과 관련하여 -

Abstract

Bhāgavata Purāṇa is the important one of the eighteen Mahā Purāṇas. This literature is was guessed which is constituted approximatively 9-13th century. This thoughtful mainstream is Vedānta, but many Sāṁkhya philosophical contents included in it. The Sāṁkhya Philosophy is an atheistic, but it is a theistic. It provides a gospel for hindus to hindu faith. Yet it was discovered a lot of similarities with the classic Sāṁkhya philosophy. Thus we can arrange in the following six points of theoretical differences between the Bh-p and SK literatures. First, Bhāgavata Purāṇa stands an Universal Self(Brahman) of the first principles, Sāṁkhya philosophy stands two principles of Puruṣa and Prakŗti. Second, An universal Self is both material cause and efficient cause in it, but Puruṣa is efficient cause and Prakŗti is material cause in the Sāṁkhya philosophy. Third, Bhāgavata Purāṇa and Sāṁkhya philosophy explain differently results of the three properties(tri guṇas). Fourth, Bhāgavata Purāṇa explains for five action organs(pañca karmendriyas) and five perception organs(pañca buddhīndriyas) in detail, but a description for a rough five elements(pañca mahābhūtas) is not concrete. Fifth, Bhāgavata Purāṇa explains which is associating with the terms of Sāṁkhya philosophy such as illusion(māyā) and time spirit, but these are the factors that not is consistent with the Sāṁkhya philosophy. Sixth, Bhāgavata Purāṇa regards in apposition Īśvara with Puruṣa which have theisical tendency, but Sāṁkhya Philosophy is atheism, and therefore it does not pretend to a deity(Īśvara). Thus contents of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa and Sāṁkhya Philosophy appears almost same outwardly, but actcually these two different. Finally we have been read with the intention that from Vedāntic position is to embrace Sāṃkhya thought elements.
