Preface
Visnutattvavinirnaya is a compendium giving a detailed account of the main doctrine of dvaita viz. Visnusarvottamatva. In a way it is a summary of Brahmasutrabhasya and Auvyakhyana that set the doctrines of dvaita philosophy in a detailed way. It discusses the problems of Vedapaurueyatva and Pramapyasatastva. It also gives dvaita interpretation of Tattvamasi (atattvamasi) and the nien illustrations. The nature of bheda i.e. difference is discussed and bheda is stated to be an internal, attribute i.e. an attribute which is identical with the object that is differentiated from another object:
This helps to avoid anyonyasraya i.e. reciprocal dependency. In this way this valuable text lays down the foundation of dvaita philosophy. It is hoped that the research students and the scholars who like to comparatively study the dvaita and advaita find this volume very useful.
The first edition of this work was published in 1991 with the forward by Dr. Karl H. Potter. This forward is also included in this second edition.

Professor of Philosophy, Washington University and Chief Editor, Encyclopaedia of Indian Philosophy We owe a vote of thanks to Professor Pandurangi for providing us with this elegant edition and translation of Madhvas Visnutattvavinirnaya. In many ways this is the quintessential Madhva. It is in this text, more perhaps than in any other, that the great Dvaitin sets forth the central tenets of his faith. Although this is not the first translation of the work--it was translated by S.S. Raghavachar, also from Bangalore, in 1959-- it is the more satisfactory of the two. While the earlier translator was satisfied to provide the text and literal translation of each passage, the present treatment is far more generous, giving us bushels of useful comments to assist our un
