This first edition of the Brahma Sutras, has been translated twice into English by Sri Sankaracarya; however the limited availability of those issues and high cost created a need for a fresh and dependable translation at reasonable price. "There are special features in this publication, such as the word for word meaning of each aphorism under Sanskrit text, followed by a word for word meaning of each aphorism under its Sanskrit text, followed by a running translation, with additional words in brackets for clarification. In the translation of the commentary, the texts setting forth doubts, the opponent's views, objections on the latter, and the Vedantin's answers have been shown separately, to facilitate easy comprehension. The translation is generally based upon the Ratnaprabha although the Nyaya -nirnaya and the Bhamati have been consulted occasionally. In quoting from the Upanisads, Swami Madhavananda's translation of the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad & his own transl. of the Eight Upanisads. The other texts are translated afresh. He has also added notes to elucidate difficult passages. The contents have been divided topic-wise, and an index of sutras in Sanskrit have been added."
