A History of Indian Philosophy v2.c19.12

v2.c19.12

The work contains six books, or *prakaraṇas*, namely, *Vairāgya*, *Mumukṣu-vyavahāra*, *Utpatti*, *Sthiti*, *Upaśama* and *Nirvāṇa*. It is known also by the names of *Ārṣa-Rāmāyaṇa*, *Jñāna-vāsiṣṭha*, *Mahā-Rāmāyaṇa*, *Vāsiṣṭha-Rāmāyaṇa* or *Vāsiṣṭha*. Several commentaries have been written on it. Of these commentaries I am particularly indebted to the *Tātparya-prakāśa* of Ānandabodhendra.
