The Tattvabindu of Vacaspatimisra with the commentary called Tattva-vibhavana of Paramesvara II Payyur Bhattamana.
This edition of Vacaspatimsra's Tattvabindu and of its commentary Tattvavibhavana by Paramesvara II is based on (1) a transcript of a manuscript Tattvavibhavana preserved in the Madras Government Oriental Manuscripts Library, and (2) the Benares Edition of the Tattvabindu. Since the commentator has made it a rule to quote the full text by before commenting on it.
Vacaspatimisra's Tattvabindu is a short and highly difficult text. In his characteristically rhythmic and stately diction, Vacaspatimisra reviews in the Tattvabindu, the Viyakarana doctrine of Sphota, manily as expounded by Bhartrhari and Mandanamisra, and amplifies and reaffirms Kumarila's criticism of Sphota doctrine.
The elaborate and scholarly introduction, giving a historical sketch of the Mimamsa literature, and the thorough-going analysis of the Tattvabindu, in English, which the learned editor has prefixed to his edition of the work.
