c4.s3.71

The last karaṇa to which allusion must be made is the Karaṇavaiṣṇava¹⁶⁸ of Śaṅkara, which belongs to the Brāhmapakṣa; its epoch is 8 May 1766. Śaṅkara otherwise, in the incomplete manuscript available to me,¹⁶⁹ informs us only that his teacher's name was Nandabhaṭṭa. It is possible that this is the Nandarāma Miśra¹⁷⁰ who wrote various works on astronomy and astrology at Kāmyavana in Rājasthāna between 1763 and 1778; in favor of this tentative identification is the fact that Rājasthāna was one of the places in which the Brāhmapakṣa was popular.
