Samkhyakarika Of Isvarakrsna

Book excerpt: Samkhya is known as one of the oldest systems of Indian Philosophy. Is varakrsna Samkhyakarika seems to be the earliest available and most popular work of this system. The present volume contains the original Sanskrit verses (Karikas) alongwith the Yuktidlpika commentary. The authorship of this comm. is not yet known. But it is known that the Yuktidlpika comm. is an oldest, authentic and clear exposition on Samkhyakarika. The speciality if this edition is that it contains the revised English Translation of S.S.S. Sastri. Besides these, transliteration of verses, explanatory notes and variant readings of the texts, are some other features of this work. In addition to these, this book is also furnished with several useful Indices. It is hoped that this edition will be more helpful to such students in understanding the meaning of its verses through an English translation and notes based on the Yuktidlpika commentary.
