A treatise written in A.D.1839 to show the unity of all religions and the identity of all deities with Hari, ascribed, according to a note on fol.7b, to Soobajee Bapoo (Soobajee Bapoo's Laghuṭaṅka was issued at Bombay in 1839; possibly the confusion is due to the fact that the reference to Mr. Wilkinson at the end is the same as in that work). It is in form of a dialogue between a pupil and an omniscient teacher, and the author gives his own name as Somanātha.
