Shaḍguruśishya himself wrote a commentary on \*Āśvalāyana Śrauta sūtra\*, and the \*Āpastamba Śrauta\* was annotated twice over by Tālavrintanivāsin and by Caundapācārya (fourteenth century); the latter was also the author of \*Prayogaratnamālā\*, an independent treatise on ritual practices. The \*Bodhāyana Śrauta\* also had two commentaries, one by Bhavasvāmin (ninth or tenth century), and the other by the famous Sāyaṇa who was himself a follower of the Sūtra. Haradatta is another well-known annotator of the same school whose commentaries \*Anāvilā\* on the \*Āśvalāyana Grihya sūtra\*, \*Anākulā\* on \*Āpastamba Grihya sūtra\*, and \*Ujjvalā\* on the \*Dharma sūtra\* are rightly celebrated. He also wrote the \*Mitāksharā\* on \*Gautama-dharmasūtra\*, and a commentary on \*Bodhāyana Śrauta sūtra\* of which only an insignificant fragment has been traced so far. - [Previous: c19.s1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s1.4) - [Next: c19.s1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s1.6) - [Up: c19.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s1) ## Linked texts (8) - [Baudhāyanaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.baudhayana) — Baudhāyana, Sanskrit - [Āpastambaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.apastamba) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit - [Āśvalāyanaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.asvalayana) — Āśvalāyana, Sanskrit - [Āpastambadharmasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.dharma.apastamba) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit - [Gautamadharmasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.dharma.gautama) — Gautama (dharmasūtrakāra), Sanskrit - [Āśvalāyanagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.asvalayana) — Āśvalāyana, Sanskrit - [Āpastambagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.apastamba) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit - [Prayogaratnamālā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.anya.prayogaratnamala) — Puruṣottama Vidyāvāgīśa Bhaṭṭācārya 1747, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s1.5) · Pramāṇa
