The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja

Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48

Translated by G. Thibaut · Notes by Ramanuja

"The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja" by G. Thibaut and Ramanuja is a philosophical commentary written between 1017–1137. Ramanuja interprets ancient Hindu texts to present his Vishishtadvaita philosophy, describing three categories of reality: God, soul, and matter. He refutes Shankara's Advaita Vedanta, particularly the theory of maya, while developing principles of devotion as paths to liberation. The work establishes fundamental relationships between body and soul through scriptural interpretation.
