PREFATORY NOTE
Udayanācārya's great work Atmatattvaviveka together with three outstanding Commentaries of 'Sankara Miśra, Bhagiratha Thakkura and Raghunatha Tärkikasiromani was edited by Mm. Vindhyesvariprasāda Dvivedin and after his death by Pandit Laksana Sastri Dravida and then ultimately the book was published by the Asiatic Society in 1939. This famous Nyāya treatise which seeks to refute the Buddhist Conception of ātman as detailed in the four theories known as kşaņa · bhanga, Bāhyartha - bhanga, guņa - guņi - bheda - bhanga and Anupalambha, has always been in great demand and soon after the second world war the book went out of print. At long last the book is being published under the Society's Bibliotheca Indica series and I am happy that our Scholars and researchers will immensely benefit by the publication.
