Although Chakrapáni belonged to the Brahmanical creed, his writings show a decided leaning towards Buddhism. Thus Maghadha itself is named महाबोधिप्रदेश or the country of the Mahábodhi ; we have also such expressions as बोधिसत्त्वेनभाषितं, सुखावती वत्तिं, सौगतमञ्जनम् । This might well be expected, for Chakrapáni's father was physician to king Nayapála, the successor of Mahipála, who ascended the throne about 1040 A.D.¹
