² Ulloor (II. 107) suggests that Nārāyaṇa might have been one of the teachers of Parameśvara of Vaṭaśreṇi. But this is not possible, for the name of the father of the present Nārāyaṇa is Keśava (cf.: *kaścid dvijo guṇakhyāta-Keśavakhyadvij-ātmajaḥ | Kāṇvavastv-āhvayagrāmajanmā Nārāyaṇāhvayaḥ ||*), while the name of the father of Parameśvara's teacher Nārāyaṇa was Parameśvara (cf. Nīlakaṇṭha Somayājī's statement on the subject: *Parameśvaras tu Rudra-Parameśvarātmaja-Nārāyaṇa-Mādhavādibhyo golavidbhyo gaṇitagolayuktir api balya eva samyag gṛhītvā* etc. (*Āryabhaṭīya-bhāṣya*, Gola. 48 ; edn., Pt. III, p. 154).
