 S'ankara carried on the work of his teacher Gaudapâda and by writing commentaries on the ten Upanisads and the Brahma-sûtras tried to prove, that the absolutist creed was the one which was intended to be preached in the Upanisads and the Brahma-sûtras [Footnote: 1]. Throughout his commentary on the Brahma-sûtras, there is ample evidence that he was contending against some other rival interpretations of a dualistic tendency which held that the Upanisads partly favoured the Sâmkhya cosmology

 of the existence of prakrti. That these were actual textual interpretations of the Brahma-sûtras is proved by the fact that S'ankara in some places tries to show that these textual constructions were faulty [Footnote ref 1]. In one place he says that others (referring according to Vâcaspati to the Mîmâmsâ) and some of us (referring probably to those who interpreted the sûtras and the Upanisads from the Vedânta point of view) think that the soul is permanent.

 This world, inasmuch as it is but an effect imposed upon the Brahman, is only phenomenally existent (vyavahârika) as mere objects of name and form (nâmarûpa), but the cause, the Brahman, is alone the true reality(pâramârthika) [Footnote ref 1].
