Kṛṣṇa had in one of his disciples, who does not disclose his name or give any other personal details, an ardent admirer and propagator of his teachings. This disciple has composed two works, one a metrical commentary on the *Horā* and the other a short treatise in verse on astrological query, entitled *Praśnaphalaprāptikalanirṇaya*. In both these works, he mentions his teacher in high terms and, in the latter, goes to the extent of saying that the minds of those who have imbibed the teachings of Kṛṣṇācārya would remain unassailed so far as prognostication is concerned.¹
