PREFACE. who belonged to an invincible ancient family, Ballala spared him in mercy; that his spiritual guide was Aniruddha a man of deep scholarship and irreproachable character and a resident of the Varendra country. This Imperial compilation is perhaps the forerunner of the huge work entitled Danakhanda by Hemadri. As the balance of evidence tends to prove the starting point of the Laksmana era to be also the starting point of the Sena dynasty, we can safely place this work in the second quarter of the twelfth century. According to the settlement of the Brahmanic hierarchy made by Vallala Sena, the family which hailed from Sahudi were degraded to a very low position, but the great ancient law-giver of Bengal, Mahamahopadhyaya Culapani was proud to call himself a Sahudiyana, hence he may be said to have belonged to a period anterior to Vallala Sena, that is the eleventh century. Culapani's quotations are authoritative, his language lucid and his arguments forcible. His Prayaccittaviveka, in spite of Raghunandana's work on the same subject, still holds its own and is regarded as authoritative. In the present volume are noticed four works by Culapani, namely, Ekadaciviveka, No. 37, Tithiviveka, No. 152, Vasantiviveka, No. 331, and Vratakalaviveka, No. 347. Nos. 152 and 347 describe him as Sahudiyana Mahamahopadhyaya Culapani, while the other two mention him as simply Culapani. Bhavadeva Bhatta shares with Gunavisnu the honor of settling the vedic rituals of the Brahmans professing the Samaveda in Bengal. He was a Radhiya Brahmana whose original progenitors settled at the villege Siddhala from which the family derived its name. An inscription by him has been discovered in Orissa with a date belonging to the eleventh century. In this volume have been described two works by him, namely, Prayaccittaprakaranam, No. 240, where he has been described as hailing from the village of Valavadabhi, and with Bhujanga as his other name; and Sambandhaviveka, No. 399, which mentions him simply by name.
