The Siddhitraya (Sanskrit: सिद्धित्रयम्, romanized: Siddhitrayam) is a Sanskrit treatise written in the 10th century by the Hindu philosopher Yamunacharya.[1] Regarded to be the largest and the most prominent work of Yamunacharya,[2] the Siddhitraya was an important foundational text for the philosophy of Vishishtadvaita.[3] It offers refutations of the philosophical positions of Advaita and other Hindu schools.[4]

The work consists of three sections, expounding the author's positions on the "three demonstrations": the concepts of ātmasiddhi (demonstration of individual self), īśvarasiddhi (demonstration of God), and saṁvitsiddhi (demonstration of reality in the empirical world).[5][6] All three sections of the work are regarded to be incomplete.[7]
