This Prakarana discusses about the four indispensable constituents of Vedantic study, namely Anubandha Catustaya, the four-fold eligibility criteria of Sadhana, Guru and Pramanas the means of knowledge. The prime purpose of this text is to provide the doctrine and the discretive knowledge of the Advaita Siddhanta directly as expounded in Sankara Bhasya [commentaries on Prasthana Trayam - triad of sources of Vedanta]. Logical reasoning employed in this text in the context of the Pramanas is subservient to this purpose. However, the need for Sraddha (faith) in Sruti is elaborated a little here for the reason that Sruti happens to be the only means of knowledge regarding Siddhanta, the established conclusion.
