| Notes/Description | : | The MS. is defective; one or two folios at the end also are wanting.Purusarthaprabodha is an exhaustive work in three parts, having respectively 4, 5 and 5 chap-ters, on the religious efficacy of Bhasma, Rudraksa and devotion to Rudra in general, composed in (Samvat ? ) 1476, by Brahmanandabharati, pupil of Ramarajasarasvati. The work was also supervised by Vidyasagara Vadindra and Vibudharajasarasvati, while it was being composed at Malavali on the banks of the river Asanasi.An important reference is made by our author to Naiskarmyasiddhi, whose authorship however,he attributes to Vis’varupa, clearly meaning thereby that Vis’varupa and Sures’vara are identical. There appears to have been a tradition current among the spiritual descendants of S’ankarfacarya-and hence a tradition which may be regarded as reliable-that Vis’varupa was only another name of Sures’varacarya. For, Madhavacarya also in his commentary on the Paras'ara. Smrti, makes a similar reference to the Brhadaranyabhasyavartika, ascribing it to Vis’varupa instead of Sures'varacarya; cf. Paras'ara, B. S. S. vol. I, pt. I. p. 57. Whether this Sures’vara-Vis'varupa is the same as the Vis’varupa,who commented on the Yajnavalkya Smrti, is doubtful. It should be noticed however, that the author of Vis’vadars’a mentions a Vis’varupa, very probably Yajnavalkya’s commentator, before Medhatithi in a passage; see below No. 720. Besides Bharatitirtha, called Vidyaranya, our author alludes to the following authorities :— |
