In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: archive.org: Preceptors of Advaitaṛsṃhś was a pupil of Gīrvāṇendra Sarasvatī, and Jagannāthāśrama, who was a contemporary of Krishṇatīrtha, the preceptor of Rāmatīrtha. Rāmatīrtha has been assigned to the middle of the sixteenth century. We may, therefore, conclude that ṛsṃhś flourished in the second half of the sixteenth century.
He wrote many works such as
- 屹ٲ-ī辱,
- 屹ٲ-貹ñ-ٲԲ,
- 屹ٲ-ǻ-ī辱,
- 屹ٲ-岹,
- 岹-,
- 峦ṇa,
- ձԳٲ-ٲٳٱ-첹,
and commentaries on the Saṃkshepa-śārīraka and ʲñ徱-ṇa, called ղٳٱ-ǻī, and ʲñ-徱-ṇa-ś respectively.
ṛsṃhś is mainly concerned with stressing the fact of the identity of the individual soul with Brahman and the illusory character of the universe. The universe, according to Advaita, is neither real like Brahman, nor an absolute nothing like the horn of a hare, nor real and unreal at once; it is anirvachanīya or indescribable either as real or as unreal.
: Hindupedia: Later Advaitinsṛsṃhś, (c. 16th century CE) was a prolific author from the Tamil region whose works include:
- 岹: "Condemnation of difference", a polemical work addressing the Madhva school
- Tattvabodhini: Commentary on Sarvajñātman's Saṃkṣepa-Śārīraka.
- ձԳٲٲԲṣa: Commentary on Padmapāda's Pancapādikā
- 屹ṣi: Commentary on Prakāṣātman's Vivaraṇa
- 屹ٲī辱 and Tattvaviveka: Independent prakarana-grantha-s on Advaita-Vedānta.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
