Suresvara's Vartika on Asva and Asvamedha Brahmana

by Shoun Hino, Suresvaracarya

These two Brahmanas are actually Suresvara`s exposition of Sankara`s Bhasya on the first chapter of the Brhadaranyakopanisad. They form a sequal to his almost independent treatise, The Sambandhavartika, wherein he has dwelt upon the doctrine that ritual is also useful to one in one`s effort to attain lineration for it purifies first the intellect and then the individual self, thereby paving way to the rise of the knowledge about the reality to liberation.
