Statement 2: Sources, indebtedness and originality
In the preparation of the present thesis, I have fully drawn upon the available published literature on the Vedānta and other texts of the Datta cult. All the sources, quotations and references occurring in the present thesis have been verified properly and traced to the original source.
I have studied the text Dvisāhasrī published (VS 2056 = 1999 AD) by Shri Avadhoot Sahitya Prakashan Trust, Nareshwar. I have carefully gone through all the available relevant literature and sources as well as the tenets of Absolute Monism. I have expressed my own views in the light of the text H.H. Ṭembesvāmī’s Dvisāhasrī and the doctrine of the Vedānta philosophy.
