His principal contributions to scholarship also include the three-volume treatise 'Veda Mimamsa', and he wrote extensively in both Bengali and English on various aspects of Hindu philosophy, particularly Samkhya, the Upanishads, the Gita, and Vedanta. Anirvan was honored with the Rabindra award for his literary achievements.
