अस्सी वर्ष बाद छह वेदान्त ग्रन्थों का पुनर्मुद्रण — पाँच शंकर के नाम से और सदानन्द का वेदान्तसार। बेटाई इन्हें साधक की प्रगति के क्रम से रखना चाहते हैं, वेदान्तसार से आरम्भ कर विवेकचूडामणि पर समाप्त, और खेद प्रकट करते हैं कि अनुवाद के साथ संस्कृत मूल नहीं छापा गया। A reprint, after eighty years, of six Vedānta texts — five ascribed to Śaṅkara and Sadānanda's Vedāntasāra. Betai would reorder them to follow an aspirant's progress, beginning with the Vedāntasāra and ending with the Vivekacūḍāmaṇi, and regrets that the Sanskrit is not printed beside the translations.
