2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Go to the Heart of this Great Work.By Atisha DipankaraAs I greatly respect the Author of this Version; I do have to point out that it is a exoteric; and orthodox interpretation of this fine Treatise.The Charles Johnston 'Forgotten Books' Version of the Crest-Jewel of Wisdom is by far the most accurate and esoteric translation. That publisher's Type set and other changes as mentioned by them; do make it the best and most readable reprint available. Many of Sankara's other great writings are also included. You will not find them else where. "Viveka Chudamani".The Original 1946 Theosophical University Press Covina version is a Great edition also; Most worthy of picking up a pristine copy.The 1964 Watkins version is a complete rewrite;where over 25 years after his first Version; he decided to rewrite under a different perspective.Though worth having both... I would go with the first version if you desire a 'True Essence' translation. The Charles Johnston translations are simply the Only versions worth Reading.True Non Dualism...Advaita Sankara.
