%X The well-known anecdote about  a kara fleeing from a charging bull indicates the existenceof some kind of reality and inherent logic in the empirical world. It also implies a hierarchy ofreality as far as the existence rooted in avidy¨¡ is concerned. The article gives an account of twodivergent opinions on such a hierarchy in advaita philosophy, each advocated by an eminentscholar ¨C E. Deutsch and P. Hacker. Unquestionably, the hierarchy concerns exclusively thesuperimposed reality. From the point of view of the vidy¨¡ all the levels of the phenomenal existenceare no longer valid. The cognition of the ultimate reality is called ¡®sublation¡¯ by Deutschand ¡®contradiction¡¯ by Hacker. The present article includes a suggestion of a new, presumablymore adequate term ¨C ¡®the annihilating cognition¡¯, since the cognition of the ultimate realityinevitably involves the certainty of the non existence and the illusory nature of the phenomenalworld.
