Vallabhacarya, the founder of Suddadvaita Vedanta, is less known outside of India than founder other Indian philosophical schools. He is among the latest (1473-1532) to found a well-known Vedanta school. Although devotion (bhakti) is of central importance in his system, this by no means implies a lack of philosophical acumen on his part or among his followers. The schools produced many works of philosophical analysis, and we may count among Vallabhacarya’s followers a master of philosophical analysis, Purusottama, of the eighteenth century. Purusottama is one of the most prolific authors in the history of Indian philosophy. Over seventy of his important works are treated in this volume, and he probably wrote one hundred more.
