In this period, Bhāskara II's works became so popular that the scholars of North India were perhaps content with the preservation and transmission of the knowledge from generation to generation. Several hundreds of commentaries were written on the *Līlāvatī*, *Bījagaṇita*, and *Siddhāntaśiromaṇi*. Copies of large number of these manuscripts are now available in India and abroad. For giving a picture, to what extent Bhāskara II's works gained popularity, a list of commentaries on the *Līlāvatī* is appended here as an illustration.
