APPENDIX D
Text index
This index is for advanced scholars wishing to locate my citations of
Mâdhva materials. Scholars of Mâdhva Vedânta have been confronted
with difficulties when older scholarship refers to pagination, etc., from
older manuscripts that are either hard to find or no longer extant. The
result is a great deal of painstaking searches for citations. I have
structured this text index to avoid those problems of the past. I have
thus included a passage number, if one exists, a portion of the passage
that I have cited or to which I have referred, and pagination from
Govindâcârya’s edition of the Sarvamûla (hereafter BG) and then
Prabhanjanacharya’s (hereafter VP). If I have used a different edition
from either of these two then it has been indicated in the header.
Madhvâcârya’s texts have been grouped according to the category
system of the Sarvamûla:
Brahma Sûtra Bhâùya
Aõubhâùya
Anuvyâkhyâna
Chândogya Upaniùad Bhâùya
Bhagavad Gîtâ Bhâùya
Gîtâtâtparyam
Mahâbhâratatâtparyanirõaya
Pramâõalakùaõa
Tattvasaükhyâna
Tattvaviveka
Viùõutattva(vi)nirõaya
Jayatîrtha’s texts:
