The presence of a work entitled \*Golavāda\* written in continuation of Mādhava's \*Veṇvāroha\* in a manuscript preserved in the Eḷankunnappuzha Naṭakkal Kovilakam, near Ernakulam, raised in the present writer the hope that that could, possibly, be a thitherto unknown work of Mādhava. When, however, he proceeded to the said Kovilakam and, with a good deal of persuasion, caused the wooden box containing the family collection of manuscripts to be opened, he found that all the manuscripts in that box, including that of \*Golavāda\*, had been completely eaten away by white ants. For further details, see his note on the subject in the \*Mathrubhumi W\*, (Kozhikode), 17.6.1956, p. 4. - [Previous: c10.s5.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.55) - [Next: c10.s5.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.57) - [Up: c10.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.56) · Pramāṇa
