Panchikarana Vartika

 
Piyali Palit (Author)
Synopsis

This book title 'Panchikarana Varttika' is a collated and critical version of two very old manuscript one of which was found in the archeive of The Asitatic Society, Kolkata (IM 918) and another imcomplete one (G9026A ) After searching long in other archeives and personal collections in India, it appeared to me that probably I shall have to work on a single manuscript till I found direction of another preserved at Bodlean Libreary, Oxford University (d567(6)27ff) under share Jung Nepalese manuscript collections. Fortunately, I was appointed as Shivadasani Fellow at the Center for Hindu Studies Oxford University, for Hindu Studies Oxford University, for Michaelmas Term in 2008. While working there, I spent most of my evenings and weeks-end in Bodlean Library to find surprisingly an exact copy of the manuscript found in the Asiatic Society collection. This book contains two original texts. First one is the famous 'Panchikarana' written by Adi Shankaracharya and the second one is the Varttika by Sureshvaracharya on the first text. In between these two primary texts, two more texts have been found by me in these manuscript. In colophon they have been citied as 'Japa – paranamadi – kritya' and 'yoga – patta – vidhih'. These two additional texts elaborate only on how one should prepare himself to go into the traditional primary himself to go into the traditional priamary texts authorized by the 'Sampradaya – Guru's starting with Adi Shankaracharya and his senior – most disciple Suresvaracharya. It appears that these additional texts were documented for the purpose of teaching proper method of learning traditional texts. Specially the spiritual ones or 'Moksa – Shastra', meant for attainment of liberation from all pains through self – realization or knowledge about real nature of Self,i.e., 'Atma – jnana'
