Laghu Vakya Vritti is a work attributed to Adi Shankaracharya. It consists of 53 verses and is commented upon by a number of writers both in Sanskrit and in vernacular languages. In this work we have an exhaustive exposition of the great statements of Upanishads, known as Mahavakyas. There are four such statements. One of these is ‘That thou art” (tattvamasi), which has been commented upon by Adi Shankaracharya. This commentary is technically known as vritti.

Besides the explicit meaning (abhidha), the figurative meaning (lakshana) or implicit meaning (vyanjana) may revea...
