*Vivarnadivishnusahasranamavali savyakhya*-In the present work late Sri
Bellamkonda Ramarayakavi (1875-1914) has embarked upon a new venture
keeping in mind the Vyasa’s lines : yani namani gaunani vikhyatani
mahatmanah, Rishibhih parigitani tani vakshyami bhutaye. These lines
underline the validity of synonyms. In other words, any name can be applied
to God Vishnu – literally the one who pervades the whole universe. But the
author has to compose his own commentary to justify the derivations of such
appellations. It is here that our author has excelled in his venture. He
had justified many names by quoting authoritative verses on lexicography.
The rate feature of the present work is that eachand every synonyms of
Vishnu is beginning with the syttable ‘vi’ Naturally the work is entitled
‘Vivarnadivishnusahasranamastotram’. His commentary is self-explanatory
giving no scope to criticism.

*Vedanta Sangraha of Ramarayakavi – Translation by Prof.R.Balasubramanian
and Prof. S. Revathy* - Sri Ramaraya Kavi’s Vedanta Sangraha is one of the
fundamental and important texts on Advaita Phiosophy. It describes the
basic theories and concepts of Vedanta. The interpretation and explanation
of the text give us an insight into Advaita. It is also significant to note
that while establishing his own doctrines, Ramaraya Kavi has explained in
detail the different technical terminologies of Vedanta used by the
philosophers of that period. The text is set in fifteen chapters and deals
with different topics starting from avidya to advaita-siddhi. The
commentaries on different aspects of Vedanta closely follow Sri Sankara,
and as such it really helps the beginners and scholars as well.
