The System of the Vedanta according to Badarayana's Brahma-Sutras and Cankara's Commentary c7.s1.1

c7.s1.1

As before, our efforts will be directed, in the further course of our work, to the most faithful reproduction of the thoughts of Bâdarâyaṇa and Çaṅkara; we shall therefore abstain from all liberties with these thoughts and shall indicate unmistakably as such our own incidental remarks. This fidelity extends to the whole material content of the work which we have to analyse, but not to its form as well; we take the thoughts as we find them, but in their arrangement and systematic connection, we allow ourselves to be guided only by the inner necessity which lies in the coordination of thought itself; this frequently compels us to deviate considerably from the arrangement of the original work.
