HATHTI Post-colophon:
74111 88801 utfarg ari TTA: non For a description of the work, see L. No. 1883. We have, in the colophon of the present manuscript, simply Tarkapancānana as the author's name; but in the colophon of the MS. described by Rājendralāla, the author's name is Devanātha Thakkura. The title Thakkura shows that he came from Mithilā.
As stated at the concluding sloka of the work, the author wrote this for the interpretation of the works of Vācaspati, Srīdatta and Harinātha, all apparently Maithila authors of Mimāṁsā and Smrti. Vācaspati is well known. Aufrecht, in his Cat. Cat. Vol. I, registers many works of Smști under the names of Śrīdatta Maithila and Harinātha Upadhyāya, though not the particular works, mentioned here, namely, Ratnākara and Kalpataru..
8151. 6591. Adhikaranakaumudi. This number contains two works (1) faaetfa and (2) facutest (By Devanātha Thakkura) which formed part of a collection, of which the leaves of all the different works were apparently marked consecutively. Thus the first work, complete in two leaves, is marked on the left-hand margin, 43, 44, and on the right-hand I, 2; the second work is marked on the left-hand margin from 75 to 114 and on the right-hand 1 to 40.
