According to tradition, Nivruttinath was not satisfied with the commentary and asked Dnyaneshwar to write an independent philosophical work. This work later came to be known as "Amrutanubhava". Scholars differ on the chronology of the "Dnyaneshwari" and Amrutanubhav. Patwardhan has argued that "Amrutanubhav" is an earlier text than "Dnyaneshwari" because the latter is richer in use of metaphors and imagery, and displays greater familiarity with many different philosophical systems, such as Samkhya and Yoga. However, both Bahirat and Ranade disagree with this view pointing out that in "Amrutanubhava", author displays familiarity with involved philosophical concepts such as "Mayavada" and "Shunyavada", and while the text has simpler language, it reveals Dnyaneshwar's "philosophical depth".
