Traditional attribution
Ātmabodha (Self-Knowledge)
आत्मबोध (Ātmabodha)
Sixty-eight verses summarising Advaita for beginners with famous images: the crystal that looks red beside the flower, the rope mistaken for a snake, the sun that illumines without being touched. It is one of the introductory texts most used in Vedānta missions.
