  • Description: (The Jain doxographer Haribhadra listed Jainism and Buddhism among the ästika schools; the Mimämsaka Kumärila Bhatta regarded Sämkhya and Yoga as non-ästika traditions.) Both Sarma's Classical Indian Philosophy and Radhakrishnan and Moore's Sourcebook draw from previous translations by other scholars, with the exception of the chapter on Dvaita Vedänta in Sarma's book. [...]the usefulness of these books to undergraduates in large part depends on the quality of these translations. Sarma, by contrast, allots four pages to Advaita source material, perhaps partly an indication of how the reputation of Advaita Vedänta has declined in certain academic circles in the West. Since Sarma notes that Advaita Vedänta borrows from the Madhyamaka Buddhist idea of the "two truths" (p. 208), it would have been particularly helpful to provide selections from áañkara's Brahma-sütra-bhäsya 2.2.19-32, where the Advaita founder attacks Madhyamaka and Yogäcära.
