Monkey and cat controversy

Japanese: 猿猫論争 - さるねころんそう
Monkey and cat controversy
A controversy over the divine grace (kṛpā) that arose in medieval Hinduism. The Śrīvaishnava sect of Vaishnavism, founded by Ramanuja (1017-1137) from South India, split into the northern Vaḍagalai sect, which emphasized bhakti (devotion) as the path to salvation, and the southern Teṅgalai sect, which emphasized prapatti (devotional devotion) to God. The Badagarai sect remained relatively faithful to tradition, writing in Sanskrit, and believed that in order to be saved by God, one must accumulate merit through faith and practice based on that faith, and that God would grant him grace in proportion to that merit.

中世のヒンドゥー教で起こった神の恩寵kṛpāをめぐる論争の一つ。南インド出身のラーマーヌジャ(1017‐1137)を開祖とするビシュヌ教の一派シュリーバイシュナバ派は,13世紀ころ,救済の道としてバクティ(信愛)を強調する北方のバダガライVaḍagalai派と,ひたすら神に身を投げ出すプラパッティprapattiを強調する南方のテンガライTeṅgalai派とに分裂した。 バダガライ派は,比較的伝統に忠実で,サンスクリットで著作し,神に救済されるためには信仰とそれにもとづく実践とによって功徳を積めば,それに応じて神は恩寵を与える。
