Introduction
About this Manuscript
The paper manuscript of Jñānabodhaprakaraṇa is a significant Vedānta work, identified as the thirty-second treatise within its tradition. This text is devoted to imparting essential knowledge concerning Ātma-jñāna (realization of the self), the nature of Brahman the supreme, all-pervading reality and the attainment of Mukti (liberation). Through systematic exposition, it guides the seeker toward understanding the true Self, discerning the ultimate principle of the universe and realizing the state of spiritual freedom that arises from this knowledge. Title is taken from the colophon (f. 3a). It is written in 12–13 lines per leaf. 3 leaves are foliated 1–3, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes are blacked out; some corrections and additions in the margins.
