1. Comans finds the style of the verses of Vivekachudamani to be ― “highly poetic” in contrast to the vigorous style of the verses in UpadeshaSahasri |
What did Advanced Practicing Yogis like Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Vivekanananda do? They both wrote poems. On What? Samadhi 😊 |
It is entirely possible for an advanced Sadhaka or a engrossed Yogi to wax eloquent about Samadhi.
Therefore Coman’s argument is not water proof (IMO) |
2. Alston believes that the references to the ‘bliss of the Brahman‘—which occur in nearly a fifth of the verses of Vivekachudamani—are quite sparse in UpadeshaSahasri |
Here again, if you refer to the narratives about Paramhansa Yogananda and Yukteswar, there were certain time periods (not all the time) when they talked about the bliss aspect of their Sadhana quite a bit. |
It is entirely possible for an advanced Sadhaka to talk about the bliss aspects of their practice. Is it
possible the author of Vivekachudamani wrote it during a prolonged period of Yogic
practice? If so, it is entirely possible they would write about the bliss aspects.

The style of VC closely resembles to one of the geeta work called by “geeta tAtparya bodhini” written by Sri Shankarananda says Sri SSS in his Kannada translation of VC. The unwarranted insistence on the mandatory experience of NS in VC which is conspicuous by its absence in prasthAnatraya bhAshya of bhagavatpAda observes Sri SSS and alongwith this he lists some other reasons as well why it is not from the pen of prasthAnatraya bhAshyakAra. VC authorship question / doubt not only raised by only Sri SSS but also followers of AVG. I have listed those differences and shared in Advaita-L when we were talking about it with Sri Vidyashankar Prabhuji but now don’t know where exactly it is 😊

Namaskaram,
A summary of the text based on Acharya's commentary is given here https://www.shastras.com/articles-and-summary/vivekachudamani-summary/ by Sastri-ji who was a past member of our group (has passed on).
A separate translation https://realization.org/down/sankara.vivekachudamani.chaitanya.pdf by Acharya Pranipata Chaitanya (another past member of our group, passed on).
I have this earlier translation of the Acharya's commentary https://www.amazon.com/Sri-Samkaras-VIVEKACUDAMANI-Chandrasekharendra-Bharati/dp/8172764200 (It would be nice if Aravinda Rao-ji comments further on his contribution and how it differs from or complements P. Sankaranarayanan's.)
A random google search landed on an old conversation in our list recorded here: https://www.indiadivine.org/content/topic/1285727-vivekachudamani/
Some nostalgia ... not to restart the controversy (or "confusion").

Released by Sri Sannidhanam during Shankara Jayanti Celebrations at Sringeri.
Author Ex DGP, Sanskrit/Vedanta Scholar Sri Aravind Rao has followed #Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji’s & #Padmasri Pullela Sriramachandrudu's commentary to explain the verses.
The Upanishads became the quintessential texts of core Indian philosophy to which learned scholars go in order to quench their spiritual thirst. Yet a lay reader, even with sincere spiritual yearning encounters a serious limitation in trying to understand these texts. One obstacle in their volume. Another is that the teachings are merely hinted at in some places, while highly developed in others. Although illumined teachers belonging to various schools of philosophy elucidated the message in the Upanishads by writing commentaries on a selected few, others are still not easy to grasp. This seeming incongruity is due in part to the fact that the messages within them were presented to seekers of varying levels of spiritual maturity. To settle this difficulty, great scholars and philosophers developed manuals to help passionate novice seekers of knowledge and truth. Vivekachudamani is one of the foremost texts in this category-From the Foreword by Dr Rajeev Kurapati
Hardbound Book @ a highly reasonable price of Rs.300/- is Available at all Sringeri Mutt Book Stores.
