The //Dravyasamuddeśa// is the second chapter of the //Prakīrṇakāṇḍa// of the 5th-century philosopher Bhartṛhari. The //Prakīrṇakāṇḍa// is often referred to as the third book of the //Vākyapadīya//, a treatise on language, linguistic cognition, and reality. In this chapter, Bhartṛhari explores the thesis that all words denote //dravya//, or substance, as opposed to //jāti//, universals. 

This edition collects fourteen manuscript transcriptions and three printed editions of the //Dravyasamuddeśa// and its commentary, the //Prakīrṇaprakāśa//, by the 10th-century philosopher Helārāja. It also includes Wilhelm Rau's critical text of the //Dravyasamuddeśa// without commentary. The TEI XML files that comprise the edition and the transcriptions are indexed by Zenodo: [[https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/105552570|doi:10.52.81/zenodo.1000903]].
