[Advaita-l] Any good commentary in English on 'Siddanta Lesha Sangraha'?

[Siva Senani Nori]

One more such difficult to understand English translation is by Cowell and Gough available at http://archive.org/details/sarvadarsanasamg035018mbp
 
The difficulty stems from the fact that Sarva Darsana Sangraha uses tarka to both introduce a system and to refute a system. Tarka, like mathematics, is a meta-language. Constant exposure - i.e. plodding on even in the absence of a complete understanding, and then re-visiting - is the best solution, in the absence of a teacher.
