[Advaita-l] Muktikopanishad cited by Vidyaranya

[V Subrahmanian]

Here is an earlier post on this topic:

This verse from the Muktikopanishad is cited in the Panchadashi by Swami
Vidyaranya with a sight variation, to suit the context:

दर्शनादर्शने हित्वा स्वयं केवलरूपतः ।

य आस्ते कपिशार्दूल ब्रह्म स ब्रह्मवित्स्वयम् ॥ ६४॥


In the Panchadashi 4th Chapter :

https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_z_misc_major_works/panchadashi.html?lang=sa


दर्शनादर्शने हित्वा स्वयं केवलरूपतः ।
यस्तिष्ठति स तु ब्रह्मन्ब्रह्म न ब्रह्मवित्स्वयम् ॥ ६६॥


The Muktikopanishad is a dialogue between Sri Rama and Hanuman. We
find some other shlokas/mantras from this Upanishad cited by
Vidyaranya in the Jivanmukti viveka.


Thus, this Upanishad, which enumerates 108 Upanishads,

has been in vogue even as early as the 13 -14 Century CE, the period
close to Madhvacharya's lifetime.
