v2.c10.487

The *Jyotirvidābharaṇa* has been discussed by A. Weber [1868d] and [1870]; S. Dvivedin [1892] 45-47; S. B. Dikshit [1896] 476; J. F. Fleet [1911c]; and U. P. Shah [1954/55]. It has been suggested that the work was forged by the commentator Bhāvaratna, who wrote his *Sukhabodhikā* in Saṃ. 1768 = A.D. 1711; but the occurrence of manuscripts earlier than this date belies this interpretation. There is also a *Dīpikā* by Vināyaka Bhaṭṭa.
