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. - [Previous: c7.s1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.s1.21) - [Next: c7.s1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.s1.23) - [Up: c7.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.s1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.s1.22) · Pramāṇa
