17. MAHEŚVARA, with the title Nyāyālaṃkāra. His commentary is called *Ādarśa*, or *Bhāvārtha-cintāmaṇi*. He is a Bengal writer, who also composed a commentary on the *Dāyabhāga*. As he is cited by Vaidyanātha he should be placed before the middle of the 17th century, and it is probable that he flourished about the commencement of that century.
