A commentary on Sridatta's Acārādarsa, by Gauripatibhatta, son of Damodarabhatta. The author's father was a pupil of Maithila Sankara and is called जलाल दीनशककृतStarter of Jalaladina (Jalaluddin Akbar) era, i.e. Ilahi. The Ilahi era was started in 1584 A.D., i.e. in the 29th year of Akbar's reign (See Bharatiyapracinalipi-mālā by G. H. Ojha, p. 193). It is just possible that Damodarabhatta had something to do with this new era of Akbar. The work is called Adarsasambodhini or Vivsti. The
work was composed at Benares in Sam. 1696 (= 1640 A.D.). Age.- Sam. 1800. Author.-Gauripatibhatta. Begins.- fol. 1b.
