Abstract
This paper deals with two topics: (1) ‘rebirth theories’ in Indian philosophy and (2) the problem of reconciling the ultimate nature of ‘prakṛti’ in Sāṅkhya-Yoga with the sole ultimate reality of ‘ātman/Brahman’ in the Upaniṣads. An attempt has been made to demonstrate the hermeneutical devices used to legitimise later understandings with older texts by various commentators. Relevant original texts in Sanskrit and commentarial literature on them have been used for this purpose.
