an introduction to the Saundarya Lahari, with an outline of the problems raised by its authorship and its place in Advaita Vedanta. The difficulties of interpretation are resolved by an understanding of structuralism or protolanguage. This is followed by a translation and commentary on each of the 100 verses. A good way of approaching the study of this work is to start with the Introduction, then the commentary on each individual verse (Saundarya Lahari/Comments). Then, by consulting Saundarya Lahari/Notes, the reader can consult the various comments that the Guru made on the verses as his ideas developed over the years. Most importantly, the accompanying structures in Notes will make the protolonguistic elements clearer than would the written word alone.
