Aparokshanubhuti
The  Aparokshanubhuti (Sanskrit: अपरोक्षानुभूतिः) is a work attributed to Adi Shankara, though his authorship is doubtful. It is a popular introductory work (prakran grantha) that expounds Advaita Vedanta philosophy. Etymology
Aparokṣānubhūti is a compound consisting of aparokṣa ("perceptible") and anubhūti (अनुभूति)("knowledge"), meaning "direct cognition"<ref group=web>Sanskrit Dictionary, [https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/translate?search=aparoksha&dir=au áparaoksha], anubhuti</ref> or "direct experience of the Absolute." Swami Vimuktananda renders it as "Self-realization." Contents
 Verse 89-99 deal with prarabdha, the karmic consequences of past deeds in the present life. Whereas Shankara supports the common notion that even a jnani bears those consequences in the present birth after realization, the Aparokshanubhuti argues against this view. Verse 100-129 describe Raja yoga as the means to attain samadhi and dweĺl in Brahma-conscoiusness. The synthesis of Advaita Vedanta with yoga is typical for late medieaval Advaita Vedanta, incorporating elements from the yogic tradition and texts like the Yoga Vasistha and the Bhagavata Purana, and Vidyāraņya's Jivanmuktiviveka'' (14th century) has been dubbed "yogic Advaita." Commentaries
The oldest extant commentary on this work is a Sanskrit commentary (Dipika or 'Elucidation') by Sri Vidyaranya (14th century). This work has been repeatedly translated and commented upon in other languages. References
