Sankara's Brahmasutrabhasya, his commentary on the Brahma Sutras, is a primary foundational Advaita Vedanta text; the atlas records no publisher and no exact publication year because it survives through manuscript transmission rather than a single dated modern edition. Its strength is that it is the primary source itself, Sankara's own systematic commentary rather than a later description of Advaita doctrine. Its limit is the ordinary one for citing a classical Sanskrit commentary without specifying a translation: this record does not establish which edition underlies a given quotation from it.
