SAUNDARYA LAHARI a) Introduction and Verses:   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.   b) Saundarya Lahari - Short Comments and Structural Diagrams :  a verse translation of the Saundarya Lahari with short titles for the individual verses, word-for-word translations, short comments and numerous structural diagrams c) Saundarya Lahari Notes: students' notes taken during the course of the Guru's years of study of the Saundarya Lahari, accompanied by numerous structural diagrams by the Guru. These notes also cover other related subjects: the plays and poems of Kalidasa and other Sanskrit authors, examples of structuralism from the western context, notes for a film treatment of the Saundarya Lahari, western and islamic mysticism, Bergson on Einstein, the Quran etc. d) Saundarya Lahari  Verses Finalized:   a  finalized version of the English verse translation of the Saundarya Lahari by Nataraja Guru. . e) Saundarya Lahari  All comments on Verse 1: all commentaries, variant translations, titles, word-for-word translations etc. of Verse 1 of the Saundarya Lahari f) Saundarya Lahari  Variants:  a translation of the 100 Verses, giving the slight variations in different copies of the finalized text
