Book Description
Foreword
Dr. B. N. K. Sharma gives in this work a comprehensive account of the Dvaita School of Vedanta and Its Literature, from the earliest begin-nings up to our own times. His work fills a gap in the literature on the Vedanta available in English. While we have many accounts of Sam kara's Advaita, a comprehensive treatment of the Dvaita philosophy of Madhva has not been written. So, Dr. Sharma, with his equipment in Sanskrit and competence in philosophy, has given us this work. It is my hope that the book will be widely read.

Preface
THIS History of Dvaita School of Vedanta and Its Literature was first pub-lished in 1960-61, in two volumes. The nature, scope and purpose of the work, its contents and source materials have been fully set forth in the Preface to the first edition, which precedes this. The work has been widely acknowledged to be the only "thorough-going study we have of the Dvaita school of Vedanta and its literature that exists" and "the most important contribution to the history of Indian philosophy" as such. It was accorded the highest national literary honor and recognition of the Sahitya Akademi Award of the Government of India, in 1964. By 1968, the work had gone out of print and there has been an insistent demand, at home and abroad, for a second edition of it. I am happy M/s Motilal Banarsidass, the foremost of our Indological Publishers, have come forward to meet this demand. I have agreed to their suggestion to have the book now issued conve-niently in a single volume to suit the practical requirements of a standard work of constant reference and consultation. The two separate Prefaces of the two volumes of the earlier edition have accordingly been fused to-gether. The chapters have been numbered consecutively and the Appen-dices, all of them, have been placed at the very end. The structural pattern of the work remains the same. The material changes made are few and far between, consisting mostly of careful revision and corrections of the text, incorporation of supplementary historical and biographical data here and there and more precise and detailed descrip-tion of the contents of some of the works like the Sangraha-Ramayana of Narayaņa Pandita and the Bhäffasangraha of Raghavendra (which latter has now been made available in print), which had been skipped over. The omission of some authors like Dhirendra, Varadendra, Madhvamuni, Ghanaśyama (Kavi) and Satyavara has been made good. Much of the supplementary matter will be found in the Appendices III, VII-IX. The question of the real birthplace of Purandara Dâsa has been considered afresh. Correction of dates and facts have been carried out in a few cases. The survey of present day literature in English and other modern languages on Dvaita philosophy has been brought up to date, by and large.
