Dear friends,

Is there a Sanskrit translation of Jnaneshvara, Amrtanubhava with Sanskrit translation of the 14th century  Marathi? I would love to purchase a copy. New or second hand, any will do. 

Best regards,

Manish Yashodhar Modi

But the magic word to search for on Amazon would appear to be Jnanadeva

The Philosophy of Jñānadeva: As Gleaned from the Amṛtānubhava

B. P. Bahirat

Motilal Banarsidass Publ., 1 Jan 1998 - 354 pages

1 Review

The Present work is devoted to the philosophical teachings of Jnanadeva the well-known 13h century saint and genius of Maharashtra in whom we find a rare combination of poetry, philosophy and deep religious experience. The author has based his work mainly on Jnanadeva`s Amrtanabhava, but he has also taken into consideration other works of Jnanadeva. He gives a clear and lucid exposition of Jnanadeva's theory of Chidvilasa, which is approached by him through an acute criticism of the theory of Avidya. He also shows how Jnanadeva's philosophy culminates in his conception of natural devotion and forms a firm foundation of the Bhakti-cult in Maharashtra. The views of Jnanadeva are also compared with those of Eastern and Western thinkers.

This is the first attempt to present in English the Philosophy of Jnanadeva in a systematic form and to convey a clear vision of his lofty and integral idealism.

 Amritanubhava contains over eight hundred Ovis.  Its original name is Anubhavamrita.................

                  
The work is of such a great philosophical significance that about a dozen commentaries
(mostly in Marathi) have been written on it.  No other work in Marathi has received
such a privilege.  The earliest commentary was written by Ekanatha (1533––1599 A.D.)
but is not available though some quotations from it are found in Kibe’s commentary Jyotsna.
                        
Pralhadbhuva Badve (d. 1718 A.D.) has written Sanskrit verses on Amritanubhava, .........
                        
Harihara’s commentary called Rashtrabhashya (date not known) partly in Sanskrit
and partly in Marathi....................................

Jivanmukta––yati writing a Sanskrit commentary in 1919 A.D. .......................

Badve was a poet-saint from Pandharpur. I think his descendants are hereditary priests at the Vithoba Temple there. They may have a copy of the book. (There is a reference

to a Mr. Athavale showing a copy of this book to Ramana Maharshi who is said to have extolled it.)

[Sunder Hattangadi]

Amritanubhava - Ambrosial Experience with Cangadeva Pasati by Sri Jnanadev

........"Since Ramana Maharshi had no knowledge of Marathi, his disciple
Athavale presented him a Sanskrit rendering of Amritanubhava done
by Badve. After he finished his reading he rapturously told Athavale,
"You did a great service to me; in this work, I had s direct vision of
Jnanadeva. So far, I had only heard of him but now I am fully convinced.
Jnanadeva was a king of saints. How great! I have no words to describe
his greatness!".....................................

Manish,

Go to the site 

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=a7d6Qh_FdkYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22B.+P.+Bahirat%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vzeqU8fAF8yQyAT9sIHgBA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

This is a book in Google Books by the Varkari scholar the late  B.P.Bahirat.  Here you get a preview of the book but Appendix B in it at p. 245 is a Sanskrit translation of Amritanubhava. A few pages from it have been kept out of the preview but it looks that almost the whole translation is available for viewing.

Namaste,

 

There is no sanskrit translation.  However, there is a beautiful translation in hindi by Prof.RA Dandekar. I possess this copy and i usually contemplate on this. Chaukhamba has published this.

 

Infact, Jnanadeva was a great shakta in the lineage of natha sampradaya.  He studied sundaryalahari of Sankara and was deeply influenced by this work. And the result is "amritanubhava".  This was composed in the temple premises of "sapthashringi" of Vani which also consists of samadhi of Shri Matsyendranatha, the adi guru of natha order.

 

I have the privilege of visiting this place.

 

regs,

sriram

Dear friends,

namonamaH

I am immensely grateful to you for your exceedingly useful replies and pointers. 

Yes Taff, I have access to a really good printer - I am a publisher of Sanskrit books (most of them on Jainism). :-)

[Assign Arc]

Look at http://www.khapre.org
The site has Amrutanubhav as well as a lot of Marathi and Sanskrit books.

Thanks!!
