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. - [Previous: c4.s3.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.70) - [Next: c4.s3.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.72) - [Up: c4.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.71) · Pramāṇa
