The commentary on the Brahma Sutra is crucial for recognition as an independent school of Vedanta. Shankara Chariya's commentary leads to the title of an Acharya in Advaita Vedanta. Ramanuja Acharya's commentary known as Shri Vashya differs from Shankara Chariya's and establishes Vashishtadwaita Vedanta. Madhava Acharya's commentary, Purna Pragya Vashya, leads to the title Madhava Acharya in Dvaita Vedanta. Nimbhara Kacharya's Vedanta Parijatha Vashya leads to the Dvaita Dvaita Vedanta system.
Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Vedantasara (Essence of Vedanta), which is a 15th-century Advaita vedanta text written by Sadananda Yogendra Saraswati.
