Notes/Description : Danacandrika of Divakara, son of Mahadeva,son of Rames'vara. surnamed Kale. Smartaprayas’cittoddhara (No. 745 below) and Ahnikacandrika ( No. 669 above) are other works of our author. For an analysis of the present work. see I. O., No. 1709, where however, Eggeling wrongly describes the author as “son of Mahadeva (son of Balkrsna ?) and Ganga (daughter 0f Bhatta Nilakantha, author of the Mayukhas ).”Eggeling obviously identifies our Divakara,son of Mahadeva, with another Divakara also son of Mahadeva, but grandson of Balakrsna and a person beIonging to the Bharadvaja Gotra. Our Divakara, surnamed Kale, however, could never have belonged to the Bharadvaja Gotra. This Divakara of the Bharadvaja Gotra was the son of the daughter of Nilakantha, the author of the Mayukhas. His father Mahadeva was the author of a commentary on the Siddhantamuktavali of Vis’vanatha; see I. O., No. 1708, p. 547b, line 9 from the bottom. His works are Dharmas’astrasudhanidhi (Acararka, a part of this, was composed in Samvat 1743; see I. O., No. 1616) and Danahiravaliprakas'a (I. O.,No. 1708 ).Our Divakara bases this work on Nilakantha’s Danamayukha among others (see I. O., No. 1709) and quotes the Nirnayasindhu, Bhattoji and Vratarka in his Kalanirnayacandrika, where again he alludes to himself as the daughter’s son of Ramakrsnabhatta, author of Jivatpitrkakarmanirnaya and father of the famous Kamalakarabhatta; cf. इत्युत्कं जीवत्पितृक-निर्णये मातामहचरणै :- Bhadakamakara Memorial Collection, MS.
