- It comes in 3 book-set containing 4 volumes. The third book in the set
contains both volumes 3 & 4.

- Book included original in Sanskrit

- It also include vaiyasika mala and its translations

- Author of this translation is Kadalangudi Natesa ShastrigaL

- Author also includes additional notes based on bhaamati, kalpataru,
parimaLa etc. And also explains things in reasonable good detail.

- It is uses reasonably tough Tamil style* ( partly due to sanskritization
of Tamil and sentence construction). But definitely readable. But be aware
of it, you cannot read it as fast as you would read books such as "ponniyin
selvan" (A famous Five volume Tamil Novel)

- The set costs INR 1000/-

- It has 1500 pages in total.

- The author, is GREAT scholar and written a lot of other books (especially
in Astrology). He has also written translation of some of upanishad
bhaashhya-s of shankara, Naarayaneeyam (5-volume set), Sankhya, etc.

- IM0, If you know Tamil and familiar with Sanskrit, it is a must have. I
really like the fact that they have taken the pains to include the original
text in Sanskrit.


Just for your info.
