The English translation on Sri u.ve Vasudeva Thatachar Swami’s book titled Vedanta Desikan on Principles of Vaishnavism, page 232 states that when Advaita philosopher Vidhyaranyar critiqued on Shatadushani, Swami Desikan befittingly countered it with ‘ca’ word alone known as cakara samarthanam. Does cakara samarthanam still exist?

There was a text called as cakara samarthanam but it is no longer available today. Ca denotes the English equivalent ‘and’. The word ca convey many meanings. For e.g., Rama also went conveys that Rama went with another person which leaves to debate whether it is right or wrong. So, the word Ca should be carefully used. The word ca was appropriately used by Desikan as per the author of this book.
