by Shoun Hino and K.P. Jog

It presents an analysis of the central concept of the Upanishads, viz. the Brahman, and discusses individual experience in state of working, dreaming and sleep and, therefore throws light on the nature of the inner sentence in him called Atman. Suresvara is considered master interpreter of Sankara's works and offered commentaries on philosophical systems - Nyaya and Mimamsa etc.
