This paper delves into the lesser-known commentaries of Saya?acarya on ancient Upani?ads, particularly the Chandogyopani?ad, shedding light on their scarcity, historical publication, and existing variations. While Saya?acarya’s commentaries on Vedic texts are widely available and discussed, those on older Upani?ads remain obscure. The primary focus is on Sayanabha?ya rendition of Chandogyopani?ad, known as Chandogyopani?ad Dipika, initially published in 1989 by Sadguru Gangeswar International Ved Mission. This paper discusses the challenges faced by researchers in accessing these rare commentaries and highlights recent efforts in reissuing the work under the editorship of Prof. S. Sudharshan Sarma in 2020. The paper also examines the existing manuscripts of Chandogyopani?ad Dipika, preserved at esteemed institutes such as the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune and the Oriental Research Institute in Mysore. A crucial emphasis is placed on analyzing the textual variations present in Sayanabha?ya, drawing attention to differences observed within this commentary, particularly in comparison to commonly available versions. Furthermore, the paper explores Saya?acarya’s approach in Sayanabha?ya, emphasizing his adherence to Sa?karacarya’s Bha?ya while incorporating comprehensive grammatical explanations, simple language, and detailed subject matter descriptions. Variations within the text of Chandogyopani?ad, as presented in Dipika, are meticulously examined, providing a critical understanding of these differences and their implications.
