- Summary:
- Manuscript is used for contemplation, study, and recitation and is a Hindu philosophical commentary on the Muṇḍakopaniṣad, a late Vedic work that is comprised of verse and mantras (words and phrases of power) that are used in meditation and ritual, for unlocking the secrets of higher knowledge, especially knowledge of the Self (ātman). Commentary is one of the earliest works to promote the Advaita (non-dualism) Vedānta school of philosophy, and predates the works of Śaṅkarācārya.
