He has com. posed several works in Mimāmsā but the one that should be referred to here is the Sastramälā, a commentary on which by Kamalăkara's son Ananta bhatta is described in this volume under Nos. 6862-65.
Dinakarabbatta, the son of the brother of Kamalakara, was the father of the famous Gågäbhatta. Dingkarabhatta's oommen. tary on the Såstradipikä bas been already referred to (No. 6924.)
