"Raghavan Thirumulpad is an eminent scholar in Vedas and Vedanta, and it is indeed admirable that he has taken up this arduous task of translating Ashtanga samgraha into Malayalam with a detailed commentary. His uniqueness lies in his having a scientific attitude and his ability to absorb modern concepts. All these qualities are evident in the interpretation of the text also"
