Bālambhaṭṭa's commentary on the *Mitākṣarā* commentary of Yājnavalkya is a late eighteenth century work (c 1775). The author was a Deccani (Maratha) scholar, and a *paṇḍit* to Colebrooke (c 1800). He is said to have died in ripe old age about 1830. Bālambhaṭṭa (1740?-1830?) was therefore a senior contemporary of Rammohun (1772-1833).
