There is a book titled

Sarva-siddhanta-sangraha of Sankaracarya by M. Rangacarya. published by

Ajay Book Service, Delhi. It is less than 100 pages or so. Published in

the 1980's. Check the two indian bookstores,

http://www.chetana.com

http://www.mlbd.com

to see whether they have a copy.

Otherwise, I would just ask you to xerox the book from any library. The book

is available in Univ. Cal. Berkley.

There are atleast two other translations, one by an Indian and the other

by a Westerner (Lott, I think). However, the translation by Cowell and Gough

are the most famous.

 

Thanks and best wishes
