In the early seventeenth century Yādava Sūri, who belonged to a family dwelling at Prakāśa in Gujarāt, penned a Tājikayogasudhānidhi in sixteen adhyāyas; its date is apparently 1616. Soon afterwards his son, Bālakṛṣṇa,¹⁴⁰ composed a popular Tājikakaustubha in twelve adhyāyas, perhaps at Jambūsaras. Bālakṛṣṇa’s contemporary was the Divākara whom we have mentioned several times before; he wrote a Varṣagaṇitabhūṣaṇa or Rathoddhatā and a commentary on it entitled Mañjubhāṣiṇī.
