Krishna Mishra's Prabodhachandrodayam stands as a remarkable allegorical drama that masterfully blends philosophy with theatre. The play depicts a war between two opposing forces within the human mind, led by the hero विवेक (Viveka), representing the path of enlightenment, and the antagonist मহামোহ (Mahāmoha), embodying worldly delusion. As a celebrated work that brings Advaita Vedanta philosophy to the stage, it holds a special place among works of Sanskrit literature. This edition, complete with translation and analysis, makes the profound text accessible to all readers.
