Bhāvadyotanikā (= Tattvapradīpikāṭīkā)

The bundle contains an unpublished work on Advaita-Vedānta - the Bhāvadyotanikā (= Tattvapradīpikāṭīkā) by Sukhaprakāśa Muni, a disciple of Citsukha Muni. The text is incomplete - it comprises 4 paricchedas (f° 60r: end of 1st pariccheda; f° 161r: end of 4th pariccheda; f° 173r (original number): end of 2nd pariccheda). The author, whose works seem to all be unpublished, has composed besides this cmmentary two comentaries on the works of Ānandabodha (Nyāyamakaranda and Nyāyadīpāvali), and a Vṛtti on the Brahmasūtras. He probably lived in the 13th or 14th century. There is evidently some disorder in the leaves, since the 2nd pariccheda is found towards the end of the bundle; there was, however, no way to reorder them without the original numbering. The manuscript is damaged, brittle.
