In this benchmark five-volume study, originally published between 1922 and 1955, Surendranath Dasgupta examines the principal schools of thought that define Indian philosophy. A unifying force greater than art, literature, religion, or science, Professor Dasgupta describes philosophy as the most important achievement of Indian thought, arguing that an understanding of its history is necessary to appreciate the significance and potentialities of India's complex culture. Volume II continues the examination of the Sankara school of Vedanta begun in Volume I, and also addresses the philosophy of the Yoga-Vasistha, speculations in the medical schools, and the philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita.

In this narration three men recount the story of the Buddha's life-his son, Rahula; the charioteer, Triguna, a creature of fiction; and Ananda, cousin and disciple of the Master.

He is famous for writing essential works called sara, "essence"; e.g., the Pancastikaya-sara, the Samaya-sara, and the Pravacana-sara. His Pravacana-sara, "Essence of the Scripture orDoctrine," summarizes the doctrines of the early Jaina scriptures. Like many Indian philosophical writings, it consists of relatively brief verses, requiring a commentary to be fully understood. This book includes a complete translation of the commentary by Amrtacandra Suri, one of the only suchcommentaries yet translated into English. This is a fundamental work for studies on Jainism.
