4 disciples of adi shankaracharya9/18/2023 Scholars point out that often authorship is credited to a great figure to claim legitimacy for texts that may in fact have been composed centuries later. It has also been claimed that Adi Shankara composed texts like Shankarasmrithi, which seeks to establish the social supremacy of Nambuthiri Brahmins. But scholars such as Vidyavachaspathi V Panoli have argued that Saundaryalahiri and Maneesha Panchakam are not his works, but attributions. Adi Shankara is generally identified as the author of 116 works - among them the celebrated commentaries (bhashyas) on 10 Upanishads, the Brahmasutra and the Gita, and poetic works including Vivekachudamani, Maneesha Panchakam, and Saundaryalahiri.
