Panchadasi

Panchadasi, a famous work on Advaita, is a treasured memory for aspirants and advanced-level students alike, and a great textbook for beginners. The commentary of Sri Ramkrishna Pandita elucidates the fifteen treatises by Sri Bharati Tirtha and Sri Vidyaranya, to whom the commentator was a contemporary and disciple.

Even though this intrusive subject is treated in a straightforward, conversational tone, readers who are familiar with Sanskrit will find it easy to understand. Therefore, Sri Jnanananda Bharati Svaminah translated the complete Sanskrit text of the wonderful work of Sri Vidyaranya Mahaswamigal into English, with extra annotations where needed, stanza by stanza.
