Besides these, Vācaspati appears to have either composed or contemplated writing seven works called Mahārṇava on kṛtya, ācāra, vivāda, vyavahāra, dāna, śuddhi and pitṛyajña. Of these the Kṛtyamahārṇava is found and deals with festivals and fasts and the proper times therefor (vide JASB for 1915, p. 398). He also wrote the Gayāśrāddhapaddhati, the Candana-dhenupramāṇa and the Dattakavidhi. Probably his last work, as stated above, was the Śrāddhakalpa *alias* Pitṛbhaktitaraṅgiṇī.
