KṚṢṆA VAIDYA, also called KṚṢṆABHAṬṬA, is said to have written a commentary on the Carakasamhitā.⁴⁵² Kṛṣṇa Vaidya may be the father of Nāganātha, the author of the Nidānapradīpa, who probably lived in the fifteenth century.⁴⁵³ Some assign him to the eleventh century⁴⁵⁴ and regard him as the father of Maheśvara, who wrote the *Viśvaprakāśa*⁴⁵⁵ in 1111/12. Others suppose him to be Maheśvara’s grandfather.⁴⁵⁶
