It gives a clear outline of Madhva's interpretation of the crucial adhikaraNas, - all side -issues being eschewed and quotations reduced to the barest minimum.

The reader's attention is invited to the exhaustive critical and comparitive study of Madhva's line of sUtra interpretation in relation to those of the Shankara or Ramanuja schools embracing all the main subcommentaries and glosses of all the three schools, published by me in three volumes (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Bombay 1971-78). This work focuses attention for the first time on the systematic examination of the adhikaranasariras of these schools in Vyasatirthas TC for Adhy. I - II and in the STC of his successor for Adhy. III - IV
