There is a commentary (Vṛtti) by Dāmodara,¹³⁴ who also wrote in West India an Āryatulya based on the A in 1417 and a Sūryatulya based on the SS; and there are undated commentaries by Amareśa¹³⁵ (Vyākhyāna) in Karṇāṭakī; by Govinda¹³⁶ (Vivaraṇa or Vivṛti) on the first two \*adhikāras\*; by Śrīnivāsa Yajvan (Karaṇaprakāśaprabhā); and by Sampatkumāra (Vyākhyā). Both the manuscripts of the KP and its commentators come predominantly from South and West India, and especially from Mysore and Mahārāṣṭra. - [Previous: c4.s3.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.26) - [Next: c4.s3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.28) - [Up: c4.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3) ## Linked texts (4) - [Sūryasiddhānta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.suryasiddhanta) — Maya, Sanskrit - [Āryabhaṭīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.aryabhatiya) — Āryabhaṭa, Sanskrit - [Viyāhapannatti](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.sveta.anga.5) — Sudharman, Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit - [Karaṇaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.karana.karanaprakasa) — Brahmadeva, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.27) · Pramāṇa
