💡 Solution & Explanation
Adi Shankaracharya composed the authoritative 'Brahma Sutra Bhashya', which firmly established the non-dualistic philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, asserting that the individual soul and Brahman are ultimately identical. Other prominent philosopher-saints like Ramanujacharya instead propagated Vishishtadvaita or qualified non-dualism through their respective commentaries. Shankaracharya also established four major mathas across the cardinal directions of India.
