⁴ On this Upaniṣad s. H. Baynes, Ind. Ant., 26, 1897, 169 ff. The Gauḍapādīya-Kārikās, one of the most important works of Indian philosophy, is based on the Māṇḍ.-Up. Pandit Vidhusekhara Bhattacharya (Sir Asutosh Mukherjee Silver Jubilee Volume, pp 103 ff.) has proved that Śaṅkara is not the author of the commentary ascribed to him on this Up. The same learned Pandit thinks, as he writes to me (in a letter dated 27th August, 1924) and as he intends to prove, that the Māṇḍūkya-Up. is later than Gauḍapāda's Kārikās. and was even unknown to Śaṅkara.
