Summary of the Book
The Brahma Sutras, along with the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, form the triple canon — the prasthana traya — of the spiritual tradition of India. A study of Shankaracharya's great commentaries on them is indispensable for all students of Vedanta. This volume presents a reliable translation of Shankara's great commentary on the Brahma Sutras. Some of the special features of this translation are that the translator has given word-for-word meaning of each aphorism under its Sanskrit text followed by a running translation with additional words in brackets for clarification. The translation is generally based on the Ratnaprabha though the Nyaya-nirnaya and the Bhamati have been occasionally consulted.
