I've seen a good one by an Indian >author in the NY public library. But haven't had much luck in obtaining 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. >a copy for myself.

If anybody knows of >any other reputed translation please let me know. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
