Śabara—between 200–400 A D. (nearer the former date). From the Tantravārtika on II. 3. 23 p 612, on II. 3 27 p 620 and III 4 31 p 967 it appears that there was another person called Bhāṣyakārāntara, who was earlier than Śabara From Tantravārtika on III. 4 12 (p 909) and Tup-ṭīkā on VI. 5 10 (p. 1162) it seems that Kumārila sometimes applies the word vṛttikāra to Śabara also *Bhartṛmitra*—On verse 10 of the Ślokavārtika, the N. R says that the former refers to Bhartṛmitra who so interpreted the Mīmāṁsā as to make it atheistic. According to Umbeka (in Tātparyaṭīkā p. 3) his work was called Tattvaśuddhi; between 400-600 A. D.
