Commentary. (1) *Bālabodhikā* by Sūrya Kavi, also known as Sūryadāsa or Sūrya Sūri. His genealogy is given thus: Rāma of Pārthapura (under Rāma, king of Devagiri)→Viṣṇu→Nīlakaṇṭha→Nāganātha→Nṛsiṃha→Nāganātha→Jñanarāja (author of *Siddhānta-sundara*)→Sūrya (Weber i p. 231). He was a versatile author (for his works see Aufrecht i 731b, ii 175b), and his *Līlāvatī-ṭīkā* was composed in 1542, while *Sūrya-prakāśa* on Bhāskara's *Bījagaṇita* is dated in 1539 A.D. He also wrote an artificial poem called *Rāmakṛṣṇa-viloma-kāvya* (ed. in Haeberlin's *Kāvya-saṃgraha*, and *Kāvya-mālā* pt. xi p. 147f) which praises in alternate verses Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, and gives the same text whether read forward or backward. He also wrote a *Nṛsiṃhacampū* in 5 ucchvāsas (*IOC* vii p. 1548; see also *ibid* p. 1478). He belonged to the Bharadvāja-gotra and lived in Pārtha-pura near the confluence of the Godāvarī and Vidarbhā. Aufrecht i 87a, iii 19a.
