Advaitākhyaprakaraṇa

This multilingual manuscript presents a sophisticated synthesis of Advaita Vedānta philosophy, Yoga metaphysics, and Tantric discourse, interweaving Sanskrit ślokas with Bengali and Hindi vernacular commentaries. The text engages deeply with classical doctrinal debates—particularly the nature of pariṇāma (transformation), the ontological status of the ātmā, and the epistemological distinction between saṃsārin and mukta states—while preserving unique regional scholastic traditions through its polyglot composition. Notable features include extensive glosses on Patañjali's Yoga-bhāṣya, discussions of upāsanā-based dharma, and technical analyses of kṣaṇa-pratiyogin (momentary succession) that reflect both Śaṅkara and Sureśvara interpretive lineages. The manuscript's material condition—evidenced by foliation, scribal errors, and repetitive lacunae—suggests a living transmission context where Sanskrit root-texts were actively vernacularized for pedagogical or ritual use.
