If one needs to propagate “what one knows, without deviating from the truthful primary doctrine”, then one should first know what the primary doctrine is. The sat-siddhAnta or truthful doctrine is of two types 1. para sat-siddhAnta 2. apara sat-siddhAnta. Both these are again of two types 1. vAchanika 2. AnuSha~Ngika. Here vAchanika para sat-siddhAnta is given first.
What is vAchanika para sat-siddhAnta?
sAxAdbrahmasvarUpAvadhAraNapare ananyArthatayA ukto arthaH vAchanika para sat-siddhAntaH — vAchanika para sat-siddhAnta is one which is primarily mentioned in those portions of the shAstra where the nature of Brahman is directly elucidated.
The doctrines 1. asheShaguNapUrNatvaM - Having infinite auspicious qualities 2. sarvadoShasamujjhitiH - being free from all blemishes 3. viSNoranyacca tattantraM - viShNu is the the efficient cause of janmAdi aShTaka are all called vAchanika para sat-siddhAnta as these doctrines are primarily mentioned in the sUtra “OM janmAdyasya yataH OM’ which directly elucidates the nature of Brahman.

It would be good if the other type of para sat-sidhAnta and the two types for apara sat-sidhAnta are also posted. AchArya vAni is really a great way to convey short and important insights from our great Acharya’s teachings.
Thank you
