Bharatiya Jyotihshastra (History of Indian Astronomy), translated by R. V. Vaidya v2.c12.s2.t52.3

v2.c12.s2.t52.3

An account of the family occurs at 2 or 3 places in the works compited by Nārāyaṇa, the author of Muhūrtamārtaṇḍa, and by Gaṅgādhara, his son (Page 150. It is mentioned every where that Hari is the name of Ananta's father and not Śrīkānta. They give much information about Ananta but nothing about his works. This leads the author to doubt if this Ananta was really the father of the author of Muhūrtamārtaṇḍa.
