(4) *Vikāsa* (or *Vilāsa*) by Gopāla Ācārya, alias Vopadeva of the Kauṇḍinya-gotra, son of Nṛsiṃha and grandson of Gopāla of Jabaḷa-grāma in the Mahārāṣṭra country, and pupil of Meṅganātha. The comm. is dated in *saṃvat* 1484 = 1428 A.D. MSS: Aufrecht ii 116a: *SCB* 1986. Śrīdhara Bhandarkar points out (*Rep. of Second Tour* 1904-06, p. 36) that the date is 1494 and not 1484 as given by Stein (extr. p. 273), but he thinks that it is *śaka* era, in which case the date of the commentary will be 1572 A.D.
