P. 243, note ²⁵⁹. Váchaspatimiśra’s Bhámatí, a gloss on Śaṃkara’s commentary on the Vedánta-sútra, is in course of publication in the *Bibl. Ind.* edited by Bálaśástrin,—commenced in 1876.—In the *Paṇḍit* for 1876, p. 113, in the Preface to his edition of Srínivásadása’s Yatíndramatadípiká, Rámamiśraśástrin cites a passage from Rámánuja’s Brahmasútra-bháshya, in which the latter mentions the *bhagavad*-Bodháyana as his predecessor therein, and as separated from him by several generations of *púrvácháryas*. As such *púrvácháryas* Rámamiśra gives the names of Dramiḍa, Guhadeva, and Brahmánandi, at the same time designating them by the epithets *maharshi* and *supráchínatama*. By Śrínivásadása himself (p. 115) the teachers are mentioned in the following order: Vyása, Bodháyana, Guhadeva, Bháruchi, Brahmánandi, Draviḍáchárya, Śrí-Paráṅkuśanátha, Yámunamuni, Yatíśvara.—Here is also to be mentioned the edition in the *Paṇḍit*, by Vechana-rámaśástrin, of two commentaries on the Vedánta-sútra, viz., the Śaiva-bháshya of Śríkaṇṭha Śiváchárya (see *Z. D. M. G.*, xxvii. 166), and the Vedánta-kaustubha-prabhá of Keśava Káśmírabhaṭṭa.—Further, in the second edition of his *Sanskṛit-Chrestomathie* (1877) Böhtlingk has given a new translation of the Vedánta-sára; and the Vidvan-manorañjiní of Rámatírtha, a commentary thereon, has been published, text with translation, in the *Paṇḍit* by Gough and Govindadevaśástrin. In the same journal has also appeared the Advaita-makaranda of Lakshmídhara.
