Folia, 145. Lines, 7 on a page. Extent, 2,016 Slokas. Character, Nagara. Date, SM. 1793. Place of deposit, Sitamodhi, Zilla Muzahpharpur, Pandit Yogadatta Upadhyaya. Appearance, old. Prose and verse. Generally corect. Gadyavallari. Tantric rituals for the worship of various forms of Sakti. By Nijatma-prakas'anandanatha Mallikarjuna Yogindra. The work opens with a list of the teachers of the Sankara sect of Yatis. After naming some of the earliest teachers such as Siva, Vishnu, Vasishtha, Parasara, &c., the line of succession from Sankara Acharya runs thus: 1, Sankara; 2, Bodhana Acharya; 3, Jnanaghana; 4, Jnanottamasiva; 5, Jnanagiri; 6, Simhagiri; 7, I'svara Tirtha; 8, Nrisimha Tirtha; 9, Vidya-tirthas'iva; 10, Bharati Tirtha; 11, Vidyaranyaguru; 12, Malayanandadeva Tirtha-sarasvati; 13, Yadavendra Sarasvati; 14, sarasvati; 15, Srinrisimha Sarasvati; 16, Madhavendra Sarasvati; 17, Mallikarjuna Yogindra; 18, Ramadeva; 19, Dayadeva Yati; 20, Gananananda; 21, Chidghanananda; 22, A'nanda-chitprativimba. I know not the date of the author of the work, but the codex is dated Samvat, 1793 = A. D. 1736, and, reckoning at the rate of three generations to a century, the names would take us seven and a half centuries behind 1786 to go to the date of Sankara ; but hermits live much longer than ordinary people, and their succession takes place at an early age, as generally the youngest disciple is selected to succeed, and the evidence of the codex cannot be accepted as conclusive. It is enough, however, to show that the age usually assigned to Sankara by orientalists is fairly correct. 3
