Manuscript is used for study and consultation and is a medieval Hindu philosophical critical glossary on Śaṅkarācārya's treatise and commentary on the Taittirīyopaniṣad, exploring themes of the universal Self and its relationship to the underlying principles of existence such as the abstract concept of the brahman as well as discussion of social structure. Text is derived from the perspective of the Advaita (non-dualism) Vedānta school of philosophy.
