The real Bengali contemporary of Bālambhaṭṭa in *smriti* is Jagannātha Tarkapanchānana (1695-1806), whose life is said to have covered something more than the entire eighteenth century at both ends. But his work, *Vivādabhangārṇava*, a digest, was prepared at the suggestion of the British Government under the inspiration of Jones. Parts of it were translated into English by Colebrooke (1797). He was held in great esteem by Rammohun.
