Sažetak
This paper investigates the authorship of the Īśopaniṣad- and Kaṭhopaniṣad-Bhāṣya, which are traditionally attributed to Śaṅkara. The first part of the paper shows that, according to Hacker’s criteria of the specific usage of the terms avidyā, nāmarūpa, māyā, and īśvara, there are no grounds upon which to disprove the traditional attribution of the Īśopaniṣad- and Kaṭhopaniṣad-Bhāṣya to Śaṅkara, although the analysis of the Īśopaniṣad-Bhāṣya rests mainly on the absence of un-Śaṅkarian features. In addition to Hacker’s methods, the paper will also report on the results of computational experiments based on new developments in authorship verification – the recently introduced General Imposters framework. This analysis will, according to the General Imposters method, affirm Śaṅkara’s authorship of the texts in question.
