Vaidyanāthadhām

By Swami Harshananda

Vaidyanāthadhām literally means ‘Abode of Vaidyanātha, Śiva’ or ‘of a different nature’.

This is one of the eleven kinds of tarka or logic. If somebody says that, since śabda^[1] and rupa^[2] are both indriya- grāhya^[3] let them be considered identical, the reply is that the sense-organs that perceive them^[4] being vijāti^[5] they are also different. This kind of argument is vaijātya.
