Answer 2

Here is a summary of "The Vachanas of Akkamahadevi and Satyakka":

• Akkamahadevi (Sanskrit: अककमयेशुना) is a 12th-century Jain religious leader.
• She is best known for her central role in the 12th-century Indian philosophical text, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, written by Ludwig Wittgenstein, which is one of the most important works in the history of 20th-century philosophy.
• The vachanas of Satyakka and akkamahadevi (pages 29-33) are both about a strong and powerful woman, Akkamahadevi, who defeated a warrior leader named Janaka.
• These vachanas were also influenced by the tradition of kalinga, a Hindu warrior dance-drama, in which strong, athletic women were celebrated in ancient India.
• The character Akkamahadevi advances a number of arguments in defence of her choice to remain an ascetic.
• First, she argues that the pleasures of the senses are fleeting and short-lived, and that they are not as satisfying as the pleasures of a single act of doing good.
• She also argues that remaining an ascetic is the surest way for her to achieve her spiritual goals, and that it is wrong to seek pleasure for pleasure’s sake.
