Atmajñānopadeśaṭikā (29), by Ananda Giri, is a com-
mentary on a certain short treatise entitled Ātmajñāna,
attributed to Sankarācārya, beginning with the word "ATHA."
This is different from Atmabodha which begins with TAPOVIḤ.
Pratyaktattvavivekaṭīkā (163) is a commentary entitled
Padadipikā, on the Anukramanika chapter of the Pañcadas.
Pañcadasi has been several times printed in Calcutta.
Satpadimañjarī (310), by Sankarānandatirtha, the dis-
ciple of Sivanārāyaṇānandatīrtha, is already noticed by Dr.
Mitra under No. 2849.
Atmabodhaṭikā (31) is the same as described by Dr.
Mitra under 1677 and in I.O. Cat., p. 736A. Rajendra
Lāla, from the colophon in his manuscript, attributes it
to Madhusudana, and Eggeling, from the colophon in his
manuscript, attributes it to Sankarācārya himself. But
Eggeling is evidently wrong, for the commentary begins
thus after the Mangalācarana:-तत्र भगवान् शङ्कराचार्य्यः, [tatra bhagavān śaṅkarācāryyaḥ, ] etc.
Sankarācārya would never call himself a Bhagavan. The
Mangalācarana is an obeisance to Rāmacandra, which also
goes against his theory.

Atmasvarupānusandhānam (32), by Gopinatha Vājapeyī,
the son of Jagannatha Dikṣita, is an independent treatise on
the exposition of the sentence Tattvamasi.' Avṛttipāda (26)
by Anandatirtha is unknown to Aufrecht. It is an independent
treatise on the Vedanta, in which he seems to recapitulate,
on the lines of Sankarācārya, the teaching of Bhṛguvṛtti.
Tripuri (117), attributed to Sankarācārya, and its tikā
(118), by Anandagiri, a disciple of Suddhananda, are un-
known to Aufrecht. The Text is divided into three parts
called Pura and goes over all the topics of Vedānta in a very
systematic fashion.
Nayamayakhamālikā (135), by Appaya Dikṣita, appears
to be a work of the Advaita School of Vedānta. It is
called, which should be corrected into Caturmatasara
(Hulztsch No. 1510), Caturmata meaning all the four Advaita
Schools.
