When looking at lists of traditional advaitic texts, I came across a reference to toṭakācārya’s śruti-sāra-samuddharaṇam and looked at a copy. There are only two texts ascribed to toṭakācārya – the famous spontaneous toṭakāṣṭakam, and the present text. I’m surprised that this text isn’t more popular. It is written in simple language in the delightful toṭaka meter.
sakalaṁ manasā kriyayā janitaṁ samavekṣya vināśitayā tu jagat |
niravidyata kaścid ato nikhilād avināśi kṛtena na labhyam iti || 2
visṛjānnamayādiṣu pañcasu tām aham asmi mameti matiṁ satatam |
dṛśirūpam anantam ṛtam viguṇam hṛdayastham avehi sadāham iti || 6
This text consists of 179 verses and has been published along with saccidānanda-yogī’s short ṭīkā by the ānandāśrama-saṁskrita-granthāvalī (#103). It is also available from the Digital Library of India.
