@n@dakhadya_, the most celebrated work on the
Vedanta dialectic. Citsukha, who probably flourished shortly
after S'rihar@sa, wrote a commentary on it, and also wrote an
independent work on Vedanta dialectic known as _Tattvadipika_
which has also a commentary called _Nayanaprasadini_ written
by Pratyagrupa. S'a@nkara Mis'ra and Raghunatha also wrote
commentaries on _Kha@n@danakha@n@dakhadya._ A work on Vedanta
epistemology and the principal topics of Vedanta of
great originality and merit known as _Vedantaparibha@sa_ was
written by Dharmarajadhvarindra (about 155OA.D.). His son
Ramak@r@snadhvarin wrote his _S'ikhama@ni_ on it and Amaradasa his
_Ma@niprabha._ The _Vedantaparibha@sa_ with these two commentaries
forms an excellent exposition of some of the fundamental
principles of Vedanta. Another work of supreme importance

(though probably the last great work on Vedanta) is the
_Advaitasiddhi_ of Madhusudana Sarasvati who followed Dharmarajadhvarindra.
This has three commentaries known as _Gau@dabrahmanandi_,
_Vi@t@thales'opadhyayi_ and _Siddhivyakhya_. Sadananda
Vyasa wrote also a summary of it known as _Advaitasiddhisiddhantasara_.
Sadananda wrote also an excellent elementary work
named _Vedantasara_ which has also two commentaries _Subodhini_
and _Vidvanmanoranjini_. The _Advaitabrahmasiddhi_ of Sadananda
Yati though much inferior to _Advaitasiddhi_ is important, as it
touches on many points of Vedanta interest which are not dealt
with in other Vedanta works. The _Nyayamakaranda_ of Anandabodha
Bha@t@tarakacaryya treats of the doctrines of illusion very
well, as also some other important points of Vedanta interest.
_Vedantasiddhantamuktavali_ of Prakas'ananda discusses many of
the subtle points regarding the nature of ajnana and its relations
to cit, the doctrine of _d@r@stis@r@stivada_, etc., with great clearness.
_Siddhantales'a by Apyayadik@sita is very important as a summary
of the divergent views of different writers on many points of
interest. _Vedantatattvadipika_ and _Siddhantatattva_ are also good
as well as deep in their general summary of the Vedanta system.
_Bhedadhikkara_ of Nrsi@mhas'rama Muni also is to be regarded as
an important work on the Vedanta dialectic.

The above is only a list of some of the most important Vedanta
works on which the pr
