He does not, however, refer to the extraordinarily popular Bālabodha or Jyotiṣasārasaṅgraha of Muñjāditya.²³ But since the earliest dated manuscript of this latter work was copied in 1479, Muñjāditya must have flourished in about 1450 or perhaps a bit before. It is probably the elementary nature of the Bālabodha to which its popularity was due. A brief but also popular muhūrta poem is the Brahmavyavahāra or Trivikramaśataka²⁴ composed by Trivikrama²⁵ before 1484, when the earliest dated manuscript was copied. That manuscript also contains the commentary, Budhavallabha, of Gopīnātha.²⁶ - [Previous: c8.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c8.33) - [Next: c8.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c8.35) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c8) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jyotiṣasārasaṅgraha (Nārāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.jyotisasarasangraha-narayana) — Nārāyaṇa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c8.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c8.34) · Pramāṇa
