अणुभाष्य (महाप्रभु वल्लभाचार्य - शुद्धाद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र महाभाष्य प्रकाश टीका सहित)

varṇaka was written by Śrī Viṭṭhaleśa. In this matter, the statement of author of Prakāśa on Bhāṣya Śrī Puruṣottama is the authority. It is written: “Ita ārabhya prabhūṇāmiti (Śrī Viṭṭhaleśānām) pratibhāti; “sthāna-viśeṣāt prakāśādivat” – (Br.Su. 3/2/34) – in this sūtra-bhāṣya-prakāśa. Likewise, in Ānandamayādhikaraṇa – “sāmpratam tu Prabhucaraṇaiḥ”. Similarly, in the ending verse of the fourth chapter, “Bhāṣya-puṣpāñjaliḥ śrīmadācārya-caraṇāmbuje | niveditastena tuṣṭā bhavantu mayi te sadā ||” ` Here, in the Bhāṣya-prāmāṇya-prakāśa, Śrī Puruṣott- amāḥ: “guṇopasaṁhārapādamārabhya sārddhādhyāyasya svayam karaṇāt tad āchāryeṣu nivedayantaḥ samāptau maṅgalam kartavyamiti śiṣṭācārañca śikṣayantaḥ āchāryāṇām prasādam āśāsate”; from this, it is clear that after writing the remaining part of the Bhāṣya, it was dedicated at the feet of Śrī Vallabhācārya. But, here some learned persons think that the entire Bhāṣya was written by Āchārya himself. In that case, the meaning of ‘Śrī Āchārya-caraṇāmbujam’ should be taken to mean as Vyāsācārya-caraṇāmbujam. See Āchārya's sentence “vyāso'smākam guruḥ”. In this manner, at other places also explanations are given. Moreover, some people say – “there is another elaborate Bhāṣya of the Āchārya; from that, some short passage is available today; this Bhāṣya is the abridged version of that Bhāṣya.” However, what Śrī Puruṣottamacaraṇa has said in his Prakāśa is to be accepted as the only part available and there should be no doubt about this. Whatever works of Śrī Vallabhācārya are there, in those cases there are commentaries on them by Śrī Puruṣottama. Where there is no commentary of Puruṣottama, that work is of Śrī Vallabhācārya or not is doubtful. In this Bhāṣya, there are four chapters; they are - svarūpa; matāntara-nirāsa; sādhana; description of phala – respectively. In each chapter, there are four quarters; in the first chapter, xxxvii
