Brahma Sutras
The ''Brahma sūtras'' ((サンスクリット:ब्रह्म सूत्र)), also known as the ''Vedānta Sūtras'' (वेदान्त सूत्र), are one of the three canonical texts of the Vedānta school of Hindu philosophy.
The ''Brahma sūtra'' is an early exposition of the Vedanta-interpretation of the Upanishads. It is an attempt to systematise the various strands of the Upanishads which form the background of the orthodox systems of thought. It is also called ''Uttara-Mimāṃsā'' or the investigation of the later part of the Vedas, as distinguished from the ''Mimāṃsā'' of the earlier part of the Vedas and the ''Brahmanas'' which deal with ritual or ''karma-kānda''. It is intended to be a summary of the teaching of the Upanishads.
==Author==
The Brahma Sutras or Brahmasuthra are attributed to Badarayana. While commentators like Adi Shankara treat Bādarāyaņa, the author of the Brahma Sūtra, as the Jnana-Shakti Avatara (knowledge-power incarnation) of God, Vaishnavite tradition identifies him with Krishna Dwipayana Vyāsa, the author of the Mahābhārata. Lexicographers like Hemachandra (A.D.1088-1173) (vide his Abhidhānacintāmaņi - Martyakāņda, 512) support this view. Since he lived along with his disciples and son Śuka, at the Badarī in the Himālayas, he might have used this name in his composition.〔Harshananda, Swami, (2008) A Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism, Vol.1, p.232〕
Bādarāyana also appears in the Samavidhana Brahmana of the Samaveda.
