About this Manuscript

The work Kaivalyopaniṣad dīpikā is a commentary on Kaivalyopaniṣad by Śaṅkarānanda. As per S. Suryanarayana, Vidyātīrtha is identified with Vidyāśaṅkara Tīrtha or Śaṅkarānanda(NCC). The text describes the final stage of complete realization, where one attains the ultimate knowledge that dissolves all duality, allowing the realized being to emerge as the one the absolute, beyond all distinctions. Title is taken from marginal abbreviations. It is written in 7–9 lines per leaf.; 16 leaves are foliated 1–16, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes are covered with yellow or crossed out, some additions and corrections written in margins; vertical margins indicated with double red line.
