v1.c7.138

The son of Cintāmaṇi of the Gārgyagotra and father of Nīlakaṇṭha (*fl.* 1587) and Rāma (*fl.* 1600/13), Ananta resided at Dharmapura on the Godāvarī in Vidarbha. He wrote a ṭīkā on the *Kāmadhenu* of Mahādeva (*fl.* 1357) according to the *Muhūrtacintāmaṇi* (13,9) of his son Rāma. The same source informs us that he authored a *Janipaddhati* (= *Jātakapaddhati*) apparently based on Śrīpati’s (*fl.* 1040); cf. the *Bhāvaphala* of Ananta Paṇḍita. See S. Dvivedin [1892] 64; S. B. Dikshit [1896] 274-275; and M. M. Patkar [1938] 164-165.
