‘The collection of data, editing and the interpretation of every school of thought is a feat unparalleled in the field of history of philosophy’. This volume is mainly intended to give and exposition of Indian thought strictly on the basis of the original texts and commentaries. Occasionally, however, the author has sometimes discussed and borrowed the view of other writers in the assessment of chronological facts. Often, the ground covered has been wholly new and the materials have been obtained by a direct and a first-hand study of all available texts and manuscripts. Vol. V treats the Southern schools of Śaivism, i.e., Śaiva Siddhānta, Vīra Śaivism, philosophy of Srīkāntha. Śaiva philosophy in the Purā]nas and in some important texts.
