BHASKARARAYA.
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
Of the several works in Mimāmsa of this prolific writer of the 18th century, the one preserved in this library is the Matvarthalakṣaṇāvicara, described under No. 6996. He was the son of Gambhirarayabharatıdıkṣita and resided in the village of Bhāskararayapuram in the Tanjore District. For detailed information regarding this author, see the introduction to his Lalitasahasranāmabhāṣya, publishad by the Nirṇayasagara Press, Bombay.
The Prabhakara system of Mimamsă seems to have had very little following ever since its inception, for we find very few works on that system. Only two works belonging to that system are preserved in this library (i.e.)
(i) Nayavivekadīpikā (Nos. 6954-61) by Varadaraja of Kidambi family in the North Arcot District. This Varadaraja seems to have been older than Appayya Dīkaita, and
(2) Gurumatasankṣepa (No. 6979) a short pamphlet, summarising the leading tenets of the system.
UTTARAMIMAMSA.
Nos. 7008-7412 represent the Mss. on the Advaita school of Vedanta. Further Mss. describing the same school are noticed in Volume XIII. A detailed Introduction to all the Advaita Mss. will appear in the Preface to the contents of Vol. XIII. The Mss. described in this volume represent the Brahmasūtras, Sankara's Bhagya and other commentaries and works based thereon; as well as the minor works of Sankara and works based thereon.
