First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs and databases did not yield a published complete English translation of Kamalakara's 'Siddhantatattvaviveka'. While the metadata suggested a 2000 translation by S.N. Prasad, this could not be verified through the available search tools. Therefore, it is likely that no widely available complete English translation exists, or if it does, it is not indexed in standard academic catalogs.
