Gommata (B.V., II, 1, pp. 48–58, Bombay, 1940; also
in Hindi, Anekānta, IV, pp. 229–33, 293–99, Saharan
pur, 1942). Taking into account the various references about Gommateśyara in inscriptions, ctc., it is found that it is reasonable to believe that Gommata was the name of Cāmundarāya. The term gommata incaning handsome, fair, etc., is quite current in Marathi as well as in Kannada. In conclusion, the view that Gommata is derived from Manmatha is refuted in details. 39. Materials for the interpretations of the term Gom
mata (I.H.Q., XVI, pp. 819-826, Calcutta, 1940; for its Hindi version J.S.B., VIII, 2, pp. 85-90, Arrah,
1941). This paper presents a critical study and an objective reinterpretation of some of the crucial gathās of the Gommataşāra in which the term Gommata is used with various shades of meaning. It is obvious from the discussion that Gommata was a name of Cāmundarāya who got carved the famous statue of Bāhubali at Śravana Belgo?. 40. On the Date of Vasunandi's commentary on Mülācāra
