The Brahma Sutra, also known as the Vedanta Sutra, explains the philosophy of the Upanishads while trying to consolidate the various strands of the orthodox systems of thought. The main theme of the Brahma Sutra is to encourage man to strive for the ultimate goal of human existence, liberation from samsara, and hence the many commentaries and interpretations also deal with this extensively. Among these, the one by Srikantacharya expounds the Siva Advaita system that is the basis of Saivism and establishes the supremacy of Siva as the Highest Truth, pointed out Srimati R. Mathangi in a discourse. The acharya puts forth his arguments by drawing from the statements of the Vedas on Brahman.
