4.0 Four-fold Introduction To Vedanta (Anubandha Chatushtaya)

It essential to know the four fold introduction to any text if we want to understand it comprehensively. Who the fit student is (adhikaaree), what the subject matter is (vishaya), what the goal is (prayojana) and what the relation is (sambandha), this is the four fold introduction. So who is fit to study the Upanishads (Vedanta), what is their subject matter, what is the goal of Upanishadic instruction, and what is the relation of the text to that goal, it is important to critically examine all of these.
