Sadānanda
1450 CE
c. 15th c. CE (author of the Vedāntasāra), disputed
Sadānanda Yogīndra is the author of the Vedāntasāra, one of the most popular introductory prose manuals of Advaita Vedānta, which lays out the qualifications for study, the means of knowledge, the analysis of the three states and five sheaths, and the path to liberation in a clear didactic order. The text became a standard teaching primer and attracted several commentaries. Almost nothing is known of Sadānanda's life; he is conventionally placed around the 15th century CE on the basis of the text's references and transmission.
