D.), at Benares. It is also stated there that that commentary is based on the \*Śulba-sūtra-vṛtti\* of Rāma. Mahīdhara wrote as many as seventeen works on various subjects. His \*Mantramahodadhi\* was completed in 1589 A. D. and \*Viṣṇubhakti-Kalpalatā-prakāśa\* in 1597. - [Previous: c7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.3) - [Next: c7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.5) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.4) · Pramāṇa
