The Priority of Śabda-pramāṇa in Gauḍīya Epistemology
On the irreducibility of revealed testimony
Why does the Gauḍīya tradition place śabda above pratyakṣa and anumāna? This study traces the argument from the Tattva-sandarbha and shows that the priority is not a dogmatic posit but a consequence of the tradition's account of the object of theological knowledge.
