It contributes to the study of vernacular \u003cem\u003enāṭaka\u003c\/em\u003es with its first complete English translation. Moreover, the critical analysis shows that the foundational Sanskrit texts for Vedānta and those for Bhakti play a part in the \u003cem\u003ePrabodhacandrodaya Nāṭaka\u003c\/em\u003e's philosophical and religious edifice. At the same time, the investigation demonstrates that Brajvāsīdās expresses several philosophical ideas by adaptively reusing the \u003cem\u003eRāmcaritmānas\u003c\/em\u003e by Tulsīdās (c. 1574 CE). Brajvāsīdās composes a \u003cem\u003edohā\u003c\/em\u003e by combining one line of his invention with a line from the \u003cem\u003eMānas\u003c\/em\u003e. This method is employed throughout all the personified metaphysical concepts. That Brajvāsī not only read Bhakti but also Vedānta through the \u003cem\u003eRāmcaritmānas\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the philosophical and literary creativity in 18th c. North India. It points to the necessity to rethink the sources of Vedānta philosophies, by including works non-conventional for language and genre, because not in Sanskrit and not \u003cem\u003eśāstra\u003c\/em\u003es. Such sources may not be original in their contribution per se but are essential to understand how early modern philosophy was done, conceived and transmitted. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46444609994903,"sku":"9783111063188","price":11602.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783111063188.webp?v=1769131173","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ved-257-nta-bhakti-and-their-early-modern-sources-philosophical-and-religious-dimensions-of-brajv-257-s-299-d-257-ss-prabodhacandrodaya-n-257-9783111063188","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
