Commentary on Vādanyāya by Śaṅkaranandana

Eltschinger suggests the title *Vādanyāyānusāriṇī by analogy with the titles of other commentaries by Śaṅkaranandana on Dharmakīrti’s works (Eltschinger 2006: 90). While it is not extant and no fragments have been identified so far, its existence is attested by several sources. Lho pa kun mkhyen’s biography of sa skya paṇḍita reports that the latter studied with Saṅghaśrī the Vādanyāya with two commentaries, by Śāntarakṣita and by "bram ze" – which refers to Śaṅkaranandana – and translated these works (or possibly just the Vādanyāya) (Jackson 1987: 110 and n. 42, 113). In his rtsod rigs rgyan me tog, bcom ldan ral gri declares having studied the Vādanyāya with śākya brtson ’grus, who himself had been taught the work by Dānaśīla together with a commentary by Śaṅkaranandana 28698: 129–130 and n. 69). In this work, bcom ldan ral gri cites Śaṅkaranandana’s interpretation in at least two occasions.
