Bhugolanirnayam by Vedanta Deshika

[Abhishek Mehta]

Does anyone have a pdf or manuscript scans of Bhugolanirnayam by Vedanta Deshika? Or knows where can I find it online? My personal searches are leading to nowhere. I would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction.

Namaste,

Thank you so much. Can you tell me if this is the complete bhugolanirnayam? I see the link says it's volume III?

Yours sincerely

Sorry to spam you like this. But can you also tell me who is the author of the vyakhya in the link you shared? If it Vedanta Deshika himself or someone else?

From the text, what may be ascertained is that

A. This is the full text of Bhugolanirnayah

B. The vyakhya seems to be by Desikan himself. 

Reasons:

The volume is a compilation of the works of Vedanta Desika and Bhugolanirnayah is one of the works. The colophon at the end of this work makes it clear that it is complete. 

The core text and vyakhya are closely integrated, devoid of introductions, and with no indication of a separate commentator. That coupled with the fact that the work with vyakhya is included in the granthamala indicates that the work is by Vedanta Desika himself. 

Once more, I want to express my admiration for Sri Sankara, especially his sattvic nature of tirelessly helping others (imagine digging out a couple of pages in a book with more than 300 pages and being so considerate towards readers that the hyperlink points to the exact page) but not saying anything more. He helps and stays quiet. A million thanks to you, Sir, for your admirable service. 

भवन्ति नम्रास्तरवः फलोद्गमैः नवाम्बुभिः दूरविलम्बिनो घनाः।

अनुध्दता सत्पुरुषास्समृद्धिभिः स्वभाव एवैष परोपकारिणाम्॥

I echo. Shri Shankara has been a gem!

There is indeed none to match Sri Shankara 

in his munificence,  keenness and indefatiguability.

द्वीपादन्यस्मादपि मध्यादपि जलनिधेर्दिशोऽप्यन्तात् ।

आनीय झटिति घटयति ! शङ्करोऽर्थितपुस्तकं गूढम्॥

And I endorse and admire Dr. Siva Senani's admiration too.

कर्तारस्सुलभा लोके विज्ञातारस्तु दुर्लभाः!!

From what I understand a lot of these texts happen to be missing in parts or undergo corruption. Hence my question. If the vyakhya is not authored by VD then it's likely a corruption. I also noticed the colophon in the end but I wasn't sure if that meant that this work is complete or only this is the part that survived or was available to us.

I just wanted to make sure that I have the complete uncorrupted version of the text.
