<p style='text-align: justify;'>A paper manuscript of a commentary (<i>vivaraṇa</i>, <i>ṭīkā</i>) on the <i>Sānatsujātīya</i>. The commentary is traditionally attributed to Śaṅkara, and the manuscript concords with this tradition. The <i>Sānatsujātīya</i> refers to an episode of the Udyogaparvan in the <i>Mahābhārata</i> containing reflections on death, Brahman, and the virtues of <i>brahmacarya</i>. The episode in question contains five chapters (<i>adhyāya</i>); the manuscript contains only the first four chapters. </p>
