INTRODUCTION

There have been several attempts to determine which of the more than 400 extant works attributed to Sankarācārya were actually written by the original or Ādi Śankarācārya, rather than by a later Śankarācārya. In the absence of definite information, these attempts have necessarily been somewhat hypothetical. Yet there does exist a source of definite information, although it has only been seen by one modern researcher. It is the lost Śankara-vijaya, or biography of Śankara, written by his lifelong companion, Citsukhācārya. This text was used by T. S. Narayana Sastri, along with other Sankara-vijayas, for his book, The Age of Śankara, published in 1916. Narayana Sastri (spelled Sastry in the 2nd ed., Madras: B. G. Paul & Co., 1971) reports that Citsukhācārya describes the various works of Sankara, giving the occasion on which they were composed, and often citing them in full. Narayana Sastry writes (2nd ed., pp. 39-40 fn.):

"He [Citsukhācārya] himself states in his Śankara-Vijaya in the first or Upodghāta Prakaraņa, ... that he never departed from Sankara from the time he left his native place until he attained his marvellous Brahmibhāva .... In fact, he was an eye-witness of the life and doings of Śankara from start to finish, and one of his direct disciples, being himself older than Śankara by five years. In his biography of Śankara, which is known to the later writers, on account of its bulk, under the name of Brihat Sankara Vijaya or Guru Śankara Vijaya, he has given a full acount of the lives of Śankara and Sureśvara and of the various works they had written. Excepting the Bhäshyas which are simply referred to, almost all the minor works of Sankara are collected and given in his work with the occasion on which they were composed.

Narayana Sastry in his account of Śankara's life describes more than forty works, besides the bhāsyas or commentaries, citing their opening lines and giving their extent. Since the extant Śankara-vijayas only mention a few of Śankara's works, we can assume that Narayana Sastry got his information on these from Citsukhācārya's Brhat Śankara-vijaya. Indeed, he explicitly says this in his descriptions of many of them.

4 Works of the Original Sankarācārya

We thus have a source of definite information regarding which of the many extant works were written by the original Śankarācārya. From this source, I have collected and listed 41 works below, excluding his bhāsyas. Presumably all 41 of these are attested in the Sankara-vijaya by Citsukhācārya, although we cannot know this for sure until it again becomes available. For now, this provides us with valuable criteria for authenticity.

Manīşā-pañcaka, p. 178

It will be noticed that this list includes the Viveka-cūdāmaņi, a work that modern scholarship has shown to have been written by a different author than the author of the Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya. The latter is taken to define Ādi Śankarācārya, and therefore to be the standard against which to evaluate the authenticity of all his other works. The Viveka-cūdāmani differs from it in doctrine, usage of technical terms, and vocabulary, as shown by Belvalkar, Hacker, Ingalls, Gussner, and others. Must we then dismiss the data from Citsukhācārya's Brhat Śankara-vijaya, a source already suspect because no one in modern times has seen it except Narayana Sastry? Moreover, this source gives for Śankarācārya the traditional birth date of 509 B.C.E., a date contradicted by clear evidence in the Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya showing his birth date to be circa 8th century C.E. For those of us who cannot easily dismiss the authenticity of Citsukhācārya's information, since, among other things, its date for Sankara is supported by four of the five major Śankara mathas, there is another explanation. I have provided this in an article, "The Original Śankarācārya." In brief, the extant bhāsya on the Brahma-sūtras, as well as most of the other extant bhāsyas, were written by a Śankarācārya who lived circa 8th century C.E., a later Śankarācārya, while the 41 works listed here (or at least most of them) were written by the original or Ādi Śankarācārya.

6 Works of the Original Śankarācārya

No one doubts that Ādi Śankarācārya wrote a bhāsya on the Brahma-sūtras, and bhāsyas on the Upanișads and Bhagavad-gītā. The question is whether the ones we have are by him or a later Śankarācārya. Citsukhācārya's text cannot decide this, since as noted by Narayana Sastry, it only refers to the bhāsyas but does not cite them. Thus we have nothing to check the extant bhāsyas with. The case is different for the other works, which could be checked with Citsukhācārya's citations. As to why we would not have the original bhāsyas, it is perhaps for the same reason we have only late commentaries on the ancient Vedas. We should note that this explanation of how to reconcile the facts as we now know them is not Narayana Sastry's view. He thought that both these 41 works and the extant bhāsyas were authentic, describing the latter as being unparalleled (see, e.g., pp. 75 fn., 83-84). Like most of his countrymen a hundred years ago, he did not see any conflict between the two. Those of us who now do see a conflict must then explain it. The currently accepted explanation is that Ādi Śankarācārya lived and wrote his bhāsyas circa 8th century C.E., and that there never was a Śankarācārya in 5th century B.C.E., despite the views of most of the Śankara mathas. Since virtually all of Śankara's shorter works are now seen to be in conflict with his bhāsyas, the shorter works are not accepted as genuine works of Ādi Sankarācārya. The only exception is the Upadeśa-sāhasrī. This work, according to evidence provided by Mayeda and others, was written by the same person who wrote the Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya. The fact that the Upadeśa-sāhasrī is not among the works of Ādi Śankarācārya described by Narayana Sastry, and therefore presumably by Citsukhācārya, supports the view that the extant Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya was not written by Ādi Śankarācārya. These would both be works of a later Śankarācārya. Similarly, the very popular Bhaja-govinda, also known as the Carpata-pañjarikā or Moha-mudgara, is not among the works described here; so would be from a later time when bhakti was coming into the fore. We might have expected the Aparoksānubhūti to be among the works described here, because of doctrinal similarity, but it is not. Works such as this and the Laghu-vākya-vrtti may have been written by Śankarācāryas near the time of Ādi Śankarācārya.

Works of the Original Sankarācārya 7

The 41 works described here have altogether well over a thousand verses. This provides us with sufficient material from which to ascertain the views of the original or Ādi Sankarācārya on many issues. For example, does he here equate iśvara and param brahma, as does the author of the Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya? His views as ascertained from these 41 works can form criteria for evaluating the ideas found in the later Advaita Vedanta writings, including the bhāsyas attributed to him. This is a reversal of the procedure currently in use. Modern scholarship has already shown that the author of the bhasyas and the author of the shorter works are not the same person. What the data provided by Narayana Sastry from Citsukhācārya adds to this is two things: We now have a good idea of which of the many shorter works attributed to Ādi Śankarācārya are actually by him; and it is most likely the author of these works rather than the author of the Brahma-sūtra-bhāsya who is the real original Ādi Śankarācārya.

Introductory Notes

For published Sanskrit editions of these 41 works, I have normally limited myself to listing only their occurrence in three collections: (1) the 1981-83 Complete Works of Sri Sankaracharya, in 10 volumes, Madras: Samata Books, which includes all the texts of The Works of Sri Sankaracharya, in 20 volumes, Srirangam: Vani Vilas Press, 1910; (2) the 1925 Minor Works (Works of Shankaracharya, vol. IV), edited by Hari Raghunath Bhagavat, Poona: Ashtekar & Co., reprinted in the Poona Oriental Series in 1952 with pagination unchanged; and (3) the 1898-1899 Śrí- Śankaráchárya's Miscellaneous Works, in 4 volumes, edited by A. Mahádeva Śástri and K. Rangáchárya, Mysore: Government Branch Press, in the Government Oriental Library Series (on all these, see my: "Śankarācārya's Collected Works: An Annotated Bibliography of Published Sanskrit Editions"). Other editions are listed only when the work does not occur in these three collections. There are many editions of Sankara's individual works, published in various parts of India, that never become widely available; so it is almost impossible for me to provide a comprehensive listing of published Sanskrit editions. For published English translations, I have tried to be more comprehensive, listing all the various translations for each of these 41 works that we have been able to locate. When a book is listed that is not in our archives, whether in Sanskrit or English, it is noted as "we lack." This means that the bibliographic data given for it was usually obtained secondhand, and could thus contain errors. All other bibliographic data was obtained by my direct examination, so its accuracy may be relied upon. For the books that contain several different works, only an abbreviated reference is used here, while the full bibliographic data is given separately following this listing.

Mirzapore: Orphan School Press, 1852 It is also, according to my comparison, the same as the one very tentatively ascribed to Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, published in 1961: * Ātmabodhaprakaraņa of Šankarācārya, with a commentary ascribed to Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, ed. Dinesh Chandra Bhattacharya. Calcutta: Sanskrit College, 1961; Calcutta Sanskrit College Research Series no. 17, Text no. 11 Thus we have three different printed editions of this commentary by Padmapāda on the Ātma-bodha.

Additional Notes

Narayana Sastry mentions the Kanaka-dhārā-stotra on p. 38, but does not describe it or quote lines from it as he does for the works found in Citsukhācārya's Brhat-śankara-vijaya. I therefore assume that his reference to it is from the other Sankara-vijayas he used, where it is indeed found. If Citsukha in fact does not give it, it is unlikely to be a work of the original Śankarācārya.

Works of the Original Sankarācārya 35

Similarly, the Bāla-bodha-sangraha he mentions on p. 37, and the Acyutâstaka he mentions on p. 39, were probably not found in Citsukha's Sankara-vijaya, and have therefore not been included in my list of 41 works of the original Sankarācārya. On these, see the listings for Bāla-bodhinī, and for Mādhavâstaka, where an Acyutâstaka of the original Śankarācārya is described. Narayana Sastry describes the Rāja-yoga-bhāsya on pp. 68-69 as a work of Sankara's, and cites its opening and closing lines from a manuscript. Apparently unknown to him, this work was published in the Government Oriental Library Series, Mysore, in 1899, as a commentary on the Mandala-brāhmaņôpanisad. He, however, says it is a commentary on the Yoga-tārâvalī. The Yoga- tārâvalī is often attributed to Śankarācārya. But Narayana Sastry says on p. 61 fn. that it is by his guru, Govinda, since according to Citsukhācārya, Śankara is said to have written a commentary based on the Yoga-tārâvalī under the name of Rāja-yoga-bhāsya. Although he accepts that the Rāja-yoga-bhāsya is by Śankara, on p. 69 fn. he says: "This work is not however specifically men- tioned by Chitsukhāchārya as one of the works of Sankara." This contradictory data leaves Śankara's authorship of the Rāja-yoga- bhāsya in question, and in any case there would be the further question of whether the one we have is the original one. On the bhāsyas in general, Narayana Sastry speaks of the sodaśa-bhāsyas or sixteen commentaries that Śankara wrote. He does not, however, seem to know for sure exactly which sixteen these are. Leaving aside the Rāja-yoga-bhāsya, his description of the sixteen bhāsyas on pp. 73-84 includes those on: 1. Visnu- sahasra-nāma, 2. Sanat-sujātīya, 3. Bhagavad-gītā, 4. Nrsimha- pūrva-tāpanīyôpanisad, 5-14. Daśôpanișads, 15. Śvetāśvatara (the authenticity of the extant one is denied by Narayana Sastry) or possibly Māņdūkya-kārikā-bhāsya counted separately from the Māņdūkyôpanişad-bhāsya (see pp. 78 fn., 81), 16. Brahma-sūtra. As noted above, Citsukhācārya only refers to the bhāsyas, but does not cite them.
