Śaṅkara's surviving works made him the defining early systematiser of Advaita Vedānta. His chronology remains unsettled: published scholarly estimates include the late seventh to early eighth centuries, 700–750 CE, and 788–820 CE. Later Advaita traditions attribute a monastic order and four or five principal maṭhas to him; that attribution is not presented here as a dated historical act.
