Dr. Sita K. Nambiar provides a critical analysis of Kṛṣṇa Miśra’s 11th-century allegorical drama, Prabodhacandrodaya. She explores its historical background, dating, and allegorical framework while examining its detailed presentation of the Cārvāka/Lokāyata materialist tradition. Her study highlights the play’s dual significance as both a Vedāntic treatise and an essential source on ancient Indian materialism.
