What are fourteen divisions of books of education?
  • "For advanced education there are various kinds of books of knowledge, such as the four Vedas, their six supplements, the Vedānta-sūtra, books of logic, books of religiosity and the Purāṇas. So all together there are fourteen divisions of books of education. Of these, the book which presents adhyātma-vidyā, spiritual knowledge — in particular, the Vedānta-sūtra — represents Kṛṣṇa."
