Devacandra mentions Bhadrabāhusvamin as the author of Vasudevacariya, in 125,000 ślokas."

Sanskrit introduction to Priyamkaranạpakathā. Author of the commentary.-- Haribhadra Súri. He has named
about 63 gäthās as bhāșyakrd-gäthäs which are usually included in the niryukti of Daśavaikälika.
As regards this Haribhadra Súri A. M, Gharage in his article “ Daśavaikālika Niryukti” observes :--
“The commentator is clearly far-fetched and twisting in interpreting udāharanas as the drstäntas of the logical syllogisms. (p. 637) ......... Haribhadra's opinion that a vāuliya is a reference to the school of the Nâstikas is not very accurate ( p. 638)."
This Haribhadra Sūri has composed a number of works, out of which the following are noted by Peterson in his Report IV, pp. CXXXVII-CXXXIX :
