Along with a complete translation of this foundational text, Keating also provides: -

Clear explanations of themes such as reference, figuration and sentence meaning

Commentary illuminating connections between Mukula and contemporary philosophy -

Romanized text of the Sanskrit -

A glossary of terms and annotated bibliography -

A chronology of important figures and dates
