Of further commentaries on Y. notably the learned and comprehensive works of Aparārka and Mitramiśra² and the short commentary of Śulapāṇi have been preserved; all of them are still unpublished. Aparārka³, a king of Konkan belonging to the dynasty of Śilāhāras, ruled in the 12. century; yet we have got to choose between two kings of this name of whom one is attested to have lived about 1140-1160 and the other from 1184 to 1187. The commentary of Aparārka or Aparāditya is particularly rich in Smṛti-quotations⁴ and was assiduously made use of by later authors. His relation with the Mit. is not clear because though of course he often alludes to it, yet however he does not mention it by name and not seldom differs from the Mit. in views and readings⁵.
