Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 There is a nice commentary in Sanskrit by an anonymous author. He refers to himself as shiva-bhakta. First I had an hunch about this after seeing some sanskrit notes in aNNaa's shivaanandalaharii book which has word by word meaning in Tamil and some foot notes. aNNaa did not give any reference or author info for the sanskrit quotes. Initially I was wondering whether it is aNNaa's work (by the way, aNNaa is subrahmaNya aiyar, not politician aNNaa), but later concluded against it. About aNNaa, His translations are brief and to the point. He is great scholar as well, once kAnchi paramAchaarya remarked that he is indeed aNNa (leader, elder) of the world of vedAnta. The entire Tiika and a very nice Hindi commentary is available in the book by shrii shrii svayamprakaashananda giri. Hindi commentary by the author has very nice and appropriate quotations from various different works. Complete book record is AUTHOR: Sankaracarya UNIFORM TITLE: Sivanandalahari.
