Summary

Manuscript used for contemplation and study and is a commentary from the Vedanta school on Śaṅkarācārya's Vākyavṛtti, a philosophical treatise on great sayings (mahāvākya), such as, you are that (tat tvam asi), and others. Manuscript, though bearing the title of Śaṅkarācārya's work on the title page (f. 1r), appears to be an unidentified commentary on that text.
