xxxu commentaries from Sri Raghavendra, S'rinivasatirtha and Ubbarjiacar. A faithful rendering of the text into English is attempted here, to enable students of Vedanta to have an idea of the dialectics of Dvaita Vedanta. These arguments have been met by Advaitins in several works of note: the Bhedadhikkara of Nrsimba.S'ramin, the Ad-vaitamukura of Rangaraja, and the Ad-vaitasidhi of Madhusudana SaraS'vati. A consideration of these refutations will have to be reserved for another time and plaee. Btnares Hindtt Uni-versity 15th April1943
