II. 135 and III 24) mentions views of Dhāreśvara - Dhāreśvara is to be identified with king Bhojadeva of Dhārā - works on numerous branches of knowledge attributed to Bhoja of Dhārā such as on Poetics, Rājamṛgāṅka (on astronomy), a com. on Yogasūtras - Śuddhikaumudī of Govindānanda mentions Rājamārtaṇḍa of Bhoja on srāddha – Mitākṣarā and Dhāreśvara disagree on several points, e. g. on the question whether ownership was known from śāstra alone, on the meaning of 'duhitarah' in Yāj. – on other points the two agree – Bhūpālapaddhati or simply Bhūpāla or rāja refers to a work of Bhojadeva – Bhujabalabhīma of Bhojarāja quoted in Tithitattva and Āhnikatattva of Raghunandana as distinct from the Rājamārtaṇḍa - Bhoja reigned from 1000 to 1055 A. D. - Dharmapradīpa of Bhoja is the work of another Bhoja, who was son of Bhāramalla and king of Āśāpura – it was written between 1400–1600 A. D.
