Studies in Hinduism IV: On the Mutual Influences and Relationship of Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta and Pāñcarātra. (BKGA 54.) Wien: VÖAW, 2007 (download [open access] or order online). (325 S.)

Die religiöse Tradition des Pāñcarātra und die philosophische Schule des Viśiṣṭādvaita-Vedānta haben wesentlich bei der Ausformung der heute in Südindien lebendigen Tradition der Śrīvaiṣṇavas mitgewirkt, sich aber auch gegenseitig in vielen Aspekten beeinflußt. Dieser gegenseitigen Beeinflussung und dem Beitrag der beiden Traditionen zur Entstehung der Śrīvaiṣṇavas widmet sich der vierte Band der Studies in Hinduism.
