Though such a great writer, Anantavirya professed utmost humility in saying at the beginning of his commentary on Siddhiviniśchaya :-"It is a great wonder that even Anantavirya (in another sense 'one who has infinite power' ) is unable to explain fully the meaning of the work of Akalanka"1.
In this commentary on Siddhiviniśchaya, Anantavirya has mentioned Dharmottar, Prajñākar and Archata. The date of Archata the author of the commentary on Hetu-vindu is according to Rāhula Sankrityāyana 825 A. D. Ananta-virya must have therefore flourished not earlier than the 9th century A.D.
In Prameyaratnamālā, Anantavirya has referred to Dharmakirti (page 10 ) Vyāsa (page 20 ), Patañjali (page 20 ) Avadhūta (page 20 ) and Manu ( page 49 ). He has mentioned the works Apta-parikşā (page 23), Devāgamālankāra also known as Apta-mimāņsā (page 24 ) by Samantabhadra and Naya-chakra. He has quoted from the Vedas ( page 20 ) and Sankhya-kārika ( page 52 ) of Isvara-krişņa. ___Sayana-Madhava in his Sarva-darsana-samgraha while explaining Saptabhanginaya of Arhata
Darsana has quoted Ananta-virya'. 1. "देवस्यानन्तवीर्योऽपि पदं व्यक्तुं तु सर्वतः ।
न जानीतेऽकलंकस्य चित्रमेतद् परं भुवि ॥" 2. "तत्सर्वमनन्तवीर्यः प्रत्यपीपदत्
तविधानविवक्षायां स्यादस्तीति गतिर्भवेत् । स्यानास्तीति प्रयोगः स्यात्तन्निषेधे विवक्षिते ।। क्रमेणोभयवाग्छायां प्रयोगः समुदायभाक् । युगपत्तद्विवक्षायां स्यादवाच्यमशक्तितः ।। आद्यावाच्यविवक्षायां पञ्चमो भंग इष्यते । अन्त्यावाच्यविवक्षायां षष्ठभंगसमुद्भवः ॥ समुच्चयेन युक्तश्च सप्तमो भंग उच्यते ।। इति ।"
