Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Tatparya Chandrika
Composed c. 1620-1671; centerpiece of mature post-Vyāsatīrtha Mādhva commentarial corpus.
Space

South-Indian Mādhva-Maṭha settings; Kumbakonam and Mantralayam composition; Karnataka-Andhra-Tamil-Nadu transmission.
Matter
Tatparya Chandrika
Brahma-Sūtras at four-tier commentarial remove; the disputed Sūtras; the disputed Dvaita-Advaita-Vishishtadvaita readings.
Observer
Tatparya Chandrika
Raghavendra Swami as canonical pontiff-commentator within the Madhva-Jayatīrtha-Vyāsatīrtha-Vijayīndra succession.
Energy
Tatparya Chandrika

Information
Tatparya Chandrika
Extended Sanskrit tertiary commentary; sūtra-by-sūtra exposition; dialectical engagement with Advaitin and Vishishtadvaitin counter-readings.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
The Tātparya-Chandrikā commentary consolidated Mādhva interpretation of the Brahma-Sūtras and made Vyāsatīrtha's exceptionally dense Chandrikā tractable for ongoing pandit-curricular use. The work is central to the Mādhva understanding of itself as the inheritor of a coherent and defensible Vedāntic alternative to Advaita and Vishishtadvaita.
