This 3.00 version of Paramatma-sandarbha has made use of Puridas' critical edition, enhancing its value considerably. 2016.06.23

This second edition of Paramatma-sandarbha includes the Sarva-samvadini, which is added as an appendix. The commentaries provided in Sarva-samvadini are lengthy, but deal with only a few specific points. Therefore it seemed a better idea to place the text at the end rather than interspersing the comments in the text as was done with the Tattva-sandarbha. (531)

Three texts were used in preparing this edition:

(1) (ed.) Chinmayi Chatterjee (Calcutta: Jadavpur University, 1972).

(2) With Sarva-samvadini. (ed.) Haridas Shastri (Vrindavan: Gadai Gaurahari Press, 1983).

(3) (ed.) Puridäsa. Kalikata, 1951.
