# Vivekacūḍāmaṇi

## What It Is

The 'Crest-Jewel of Discrimination,' a teaching text traditionally attributed to Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, devoted to viveka — discriminating the eternal Self from the transient non-Self — as the path to liberation.

## Why It Matters Here

Cited throughout for Ātman, Brahman, Māyā, Jīva, Viveka, and the nature of Mokṣa.
