Commentaries by Acharyas on the Vedanta Sutra

There are two classes of sannyasis, or persons in the renounced order of life.

The Mayavadi sannyasis are engaged in the study of Sankhya philosophy,

whereas the Vaisnava sannyasis are engaged in the study of Bhagavatam philosophy,

which affords the proper commentary on the Vedanta-sutras.


kevaladvaita-vadis

The Mayavadi sannyasis also study the Vedanta-sutras, but use their own commentary, calledSariraka-bhasya, written by Sankaracarya.

Brahma Sampradaya - Gaudaya Vaisnav Sampradaya

The great Vaisnava philosopher Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana has very nicely explained the materialistic conclusion in his Govinda-bhasya, a commentary on the Vedanta-sutra.

Sri Sampradaya
The commentary by Srila Ramanujacarya, known as Sri-bhasya, establishes the visistadvaita-vada philosophy.

Similarly, in the Brahma-sampradaya, Madhvacarya's Purnaprajna-bhasya establishessuddha-dvaita-vada.

In the Kumara-sampradaya, or Nimbarka-sampradaya, Sri Nimbarka establishes the philosophy of dvaitadvaita-vada in the Parijata-saurabha-bhasya.

And in the Visnu-svami-sampradaya, or Rudra-sampradaya, which comes from Lord Siva, Visnu Svami has written a commentary called Sarvajna-bhasya, which establishes suddhadvaita-vada.
