Pancadasi

The Panchadasi is a comprehensive technical manual on Advaita Vedanta and a post-Sankara Advaita Vedanta classic within the Vedanta literature. The book is roughly divided into three themes: dealing with discrimination between the real and the non-real, expounding the nature of the Self as pure consciousness, and dwelling on the bliss-nature of Brahman...The original text is given in Devanagari script followed by an English rendering which aims to be faithful to the spirit of the original rather than to the letter. Brief explanatory notes have been added whenever the terms and passages seemed obscure. An index to slokas and a glossary are appended at the end.
