The fact that Jayanta’s approach to these traditions is more open than KumÄrila’s is partly due to their different understanding of the Veda’s authorship (°ì²¹°ù³Ùá¹›t±¹²¹): while KumÄrila understands Vedic revelation as an impersonal and beginningless complex of meanings, Jayanta is a theistic philosopher who, as a NaiyÄyika, believes that the Veda is the work of the most reliable author (Äå±è³Ù²¹), namely God or Īśvara.

And how do they create a state [in which one] performs (°ì²¹°ù³Ùá¹›t±¹²¹) them [when they are] formless? Who does [that performance] without an individual body? Speak, O Lord. [...]â€�.

(They are) the Siddhas of the agency of emanation (sṛṣá¹i-°ì²¹°ù³Ùá¹›t±¹²¹). They are the doors to heaven and have reached the other side (of the ocean of bondage). They have burst apart the limitless worlds of hell and are the only ones able to bestow liberation. They came down onto the venerable (mount) KailÄsa and, heating the lotus of phenomenal existence, shine with (their) radiant energy. I bow before these (Siddhas) constantly whose intellect is well versed in the Krama and are the descent (into the world) of all knowledgeâ€�.
