Structuring Advaita Dialectic: A Study based on Sriharsa's Khandanakhandakhadyam (KKK) and Naisadhiyacaritam (NC) is a scholarly attempt in the field of studies to restructure the Advaita dialectics against the background of the ideal set forth by the triumvirate of Advaita dialectics viz. Sriharsa, Citsukha and MadhusadanaSarasvati. It is a study of Sriharsa's two texts: Khandanakhandakhadyam and Naisadhiyacaritam. The first is a philosophical
text and the second is a mahakdvya, a piece of literary art. Both these texts are known, in the
tradition, as highly intellectual compositions. Starting from the identity and philosophical
lineage of Sriharsa, the study proceeds through the structuring of Advaita at the hands of
Sriharsa, taking into account the philosophical, methodological and aesthetic dimensions
intertwined very well. The trajectory of the constructive advaitic agenda of Sriharsa is visualized both in Khandanakhandakhadyam and Naisadhiyacaritam. It reaches the acme with the
brief sketch of the post Sriharsa developments in This book will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of Sanskrit, Advaita and Buddhists. and Indologists and Eastern philosophical and religious traditions in general.
