*Bādari* – PMS III. 1. 3, VI. 1. 27, VIII. 3. 6, IX. 2. 33 and VS. I. 2. 30, III. 1. 11, IV. 3. 7, IV. 4. 10; PMS also names Ālekhana (VI. 5. 17), Aitiśāyana (III. 2. 44, III. 4. 24, VI 1. 6), Kāmukāyana (XI 1. 58 and 63) and Lāvukāyana (VI. 7. 37), these being not mentioned at all in the VS. On the other hand VS mentions Auḍulomi (I. 4. 21, III. 4. 45, IV. 4. 6) and Kāśakrtsna (I. 4. 22), both being absent from PMS. The PMS very rarely refers to some ācāryas as ‘eke’ in I. 1. 27 and IX. 3. 4; V. S. has ‘eke’ in I. 4 9 and 18, II. 3. 43, III. 2. 2. and 13, III. 4. 15, IV. 2 13 and ‘ekeṣām’ in I. 4. 13, IV. 1. 17, IV. 2. 13 and ‘anye’ in III. 3. 27, in all of which the reference in V. S. is to other recensions of the Veda or Upaniṣads, while in III. 4 42 ‘eke’ refers to ācāryāh and in III. 3. 53 ‘eke’ refers to Lokāyatikas. Vyāsa or Pārāśarya is not mentioned by name in PMS or VS. The case of Bādari requires careful consideration. The PMS mentions both Bādarāyaṇa and Jaimini only five times each, while PMS and VS mention (each) Bādari four times Bādari differs from Jaimini on two important points *viz.* the denotation of the word ‘śeṣa’ and the remarkable view that even śūdras are entitled to perform *agnihotra* and other Vedic rites. In VS. Bādari is mentioned as differing from Jaimini on the *upāsanā* of Vaiśvānara in Chān Up. V. 18. 1–2 and on the words ‘sa enān brahma gamayati’ (Chān. Up IV. 15. 5) and in VS IV. 4. 10 Bādari is opposed to Jaimini about a released soul. It follows from this brief analysis and the mention of Bādari four times in PMS and also in VS that both the latter had before them a work of Bādari dealing with Pūrvamīmāṁsā matters and also with Vedānta. Ālekhana and Āśmarathya are both quoted at least 16 times in Āp. Śr. Sūtra, their views are quoted frequently as in conflict on the ritual of sacrifices and these are the only two individual authors quoted in Āp. Śr. S. It is likely that Ātreya, Āśmarathya and Kārṣṇājini composed a work or works dealing with both systems and Auḍulomi (quoted thrice by VS) and Kāśakṛtsna composed works on the Vedānta Vide Tantravārtika on I 3. 2 p. 169 note 2010 for the view that the present PMS was preceded by several efforts in the same direction.
