This Bopadeva was one of Hemâdri's protegees and the author of the work mentioned above and another entitled *Harilîlâ*, which contains an abstract of the Bhâgavata Both of these were written at the request of Hemâdri as the author himself tells us ⁵⁹ Bopadeva was the son of a physician named Kesava and the pupil of Dhaneśa His father as well as a teacher lived at a place called Sârtha situated on the banks of the Varadâ Bopadeva, therefore, was a native of Berâr Bopadeva, the author of a treatise on grammar called *Mugdhabodha*, appears to be the same person as this, since the names of the father and the teacher there mentioned are the same as those we find in these works A few medical treatises also, written by Bopadeva, have come down to us
