PREFACE. xix He says twelve kalas made the work, Dipika, a lamp. He has made it full in 16 kalas and therefore rendered it candrika or moonlight. Kahndadeva was the guru of Jagannath Pandit of Dara Sheiko, the son of Shah Jehan. The Panditaraja is well known by his numerous works, and by his supposed conversion into Muhammadanism for the sake of a Muhammadan girl. The author of the present bhasya must, therefore, have flourished some time after Khandadeva within the last two hundred and fifty years. The work has been printed in the Pandit. Sankhya. Kapilasutravrtti, No. 32, is an anonymous commentary on four of the Samkhyasutras of Kapila, probably Tattvasamasa. It is a short work running to 125 shlokas only. The last verse emphasises upon four Sutras only. Nyaya.-Nyaya Sutra or Nyaya Sutroddhara, No. 118, by Vacaspati Micra, is an attempt to fix the readings of the Sutras of Gautama. There is another work on the same subject by Vacaspati Micra entitled Nyaya Sucinibandha, published as an appendix to the Nyayavarttika in the Bibliotheca Indica series.

The Uddhara makes Vacaspati the court Pandita of Mithila and this is the first statement connecting Vacaspati with that country.
