Ramanuja

Recorded name: 罗摩奴阗

Ramanuja was an Indian Vedanta philosopher and teacher in the Sri Vaishnava tradition.

Original Chinese introduction

罗摩奴阗是印度吠檀多哲学家与室利毗湿奴传统教师。

Through the Sri Bhashya, an integrated interpretation of the Upanishads, and a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, Ramanuja discussed the relation among Brahman, individual souls, and the world. His thought drew on existing scriptures and the interpretations of earlier teachers, forming the system later called qualified non-dualism and providing argument for devotional practice.

Original Chinese context

罗摩奴阗通过《室利释》、奥义书综合阐释及《薄伽梵歌》评释，讨论梵、个体灵魂与世界的关系。他的思想吸收既有经典和前代教师的解释，形成后来称为“限定不二论”的体系，并为奉爱实践提供论证。

ASSESSMENT SCOPE

What this score covers

All included contribution titles and notes are available in English. The complete original text remains available in Chinese; both editions use the same scores and source links.

Uncovered contributions and unresolved harms are not treated as zero. This is not a complete assessment of a lifetime.

1 included contribution has incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.

Original scope note

This research record currently includes 1 outcome within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.

CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

01Three Major Commentaries and the Viśiṣṭādvaita Philosophical System三部主要评释与Viśiṣṭādvaita哲学体系OUT-SL2794-11C-12C-MAJOR-COMMENTARIES-VISISTADVAITA

Record year11th–12th centuries (specific dates of composition undetermined)

Original Chinese · record year

11–12世纪（具体写作年代未定）

summaryOrganizes the reality of multiple individuals, qualities, and the world, along with holistic unity, intentional consciousness, co-referential interpretation, and devotional practice, into a systematic argument through large-scale Sanskrit commentaries, and explicitly refutes competing Vedāntic interpretations.

Original Chinese · summary

以梵文大型评释将多元个体、性质与世界的实在性，同整体统一、意识意向性、共同指称诠释和奉爱实践组织为系统论证，并明确反驳竞争吠檀多解释。

M rationaleThe three major texts and their systematic philosophical arguments are different textual expressions of the same knowledge outcome. They are assessed together to avoid double credit for the texts and the philosophical system. Their arguments across domains, long-term transmissibility and distinct interpretive contribution reach the scale of a major philosophical system. Religious truth is not a basis for M.

Original Chinese · M rationale

三部主要文本与其中的系统哲学论证是同一知识终态的不同经典对象，合并估值避免“文本作品”和“哲学体系”双领；其跨领域论证、长期可传递性与独立诠释增量达到大型哲学体系量级，宗教真值不作为M依据。

overlap boundaryTreats Vedārthasaṅgraha, Śrī Bhāṣya, and Bhagavad Gītā Bhāṣya, along with the Viśiṣṭādvaita metaphysics, epistemology, hermeneutics, and devotional arguments they jointly form, as a single family of outcomes; does not count M repeatedly by the three books, individual arguments, or scriptural objects.

Original Chinese · overlap boundary

将《Vedārthasaṅgraha》《Śrī Bhāṣya》《Bhagavad Gītā Bhāṣya》及其共同形成的Viśiṣṭādvaita形而上学、认识论、诠释学和奉爱论证作为一个成果族；不按三书、论点或经文对象重复计M。

Evidence gapsOnly index excerpts from the IGNCA PDF have been read, not the full text. The three works have not been checked chapter by chapter; their writing sequence and manuscript traditions remain unresolved. The IEP notes differences between traditional life dates and modern scholarship, so the year label does not assert a fabricated precise date.

Original Chinese · evidence gaps

IGNCA PDF只读索引摘录，未通读全文；三部文本未逐章核读，具体写作顺序和手稿传统未闭合；IEP记载传统生卒年与近代研究年代有差异，因此yearLabel不伪造精确年

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED

Not included in this score

These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.

Temple ritual and administrative reform

寺院礼仪与行政改革

Reason The IEP and temple-tradition overviews describe standardized ritual or reformed administration, but they lack reform provisions, dates, contemporaneous implementers, and affected groups; hagiography cannot set M/a.

Original Chinese reason

IEP与寺院传统概览称其标准化礼仪或改革管理，但缺改革条款、日期、同期执行者及受影响群体，不能由圣传设M/a。

Attributed works including Vedānta-sāra, Vedānta-dīpa, Gadya-traya, and Nityagrantha

Vedānta-sāra、Vedānta-dīpa、Gadya-traya、Nityagrantha等归属作品

Reason The IEP explicitly states that the authenticity of works beyond the three major works is academically disputed. Textual-critical verification is incomplete, so outcomes are not reproduced from the traditional 'nine books'.

Original Chinese reason

IEP明确三部大型作品之外的真实性存在学术质疑；未完成版本学核查，不按传统“九书”复制成果。

Direct teaching, disciples, and institutional succession of the tradition

直接教学、弟子与宗派制度传承

Reason The existing biography contains substantial traditional narrative, so later expansion of the tradition, temple practices, or hagiographic events cannot be attributed to the individual. The evidenced pedagogical value of the texts has already been consumed in the main outcome.

Original Chinese reason

现有生平含大量传统叙事，无法把后世宗派扩张、寺院实践或圣传事件归于个人；已证文本教学价值已消费于主点。
