________________ ix familiar with the technicalities of the cult. The commentator traverses many points of doctrine and practice as stated in the Nityotsava of Umanandanatha, remarking more than once that the latter does not rightly understand the meaning of the Sutra, and that being unlearned in the principles of Mīmāmsă (the science of exegesis) he embodies in his system many things not warranted by the authority of the Sutra which he professes 5o follow closely. Both of them, however, acknowledge their allegiance to the authority of Bhaskara-rāya, Umānandanātha having been his direct pupil, while Ramesvara was his pupil's pupil. Later on, another scholar named Lakshmana Ranade hought that both the writers mentioned above failed to grasp he true meaning of the Sutra and wrote in 1888 A.D. a commentary of his own. In this work he quotes a passage from Tripurarahasya showing the origin of the Parasurama-KalpaSūtra. It runs as follows: B [ नारदं प्रति सुमेधोक्तिः ] आदौ श्रीदत्तगुरुणा शिष्याणां हितकाम्यया । स्वनाम्ना सहिता चक्रे त्रिपुरोपास्तिपद्धतिः ॥ १ ॥ अष्टादशसहस्राणि ग्रन्थतोऽभूच्च संहिता | अधीत्य तां जामदम्य: विस्तृतां सागरोपमाम् ॥ २ ॥ गम्भीरगूढतात्पर्यो मन्दानां तत्र वै गतिम् । मत्वा सुदुर्लभां भूयः संक्षिप्य विशदाशयम् ॥ ३ ॥ निर्ममे सूत्रजालं वै पञ्चाशत्खण्डमण्डितम् । तद्गुरोर्यज्जामदग्न्यादधीतं सूत्रमण्डलम् ॥ ४ ॥ अधीत्य संहितां चापि तत्पश्चाद्गुरुनामतः । सूत्रजाले संहितायाः प्रतिबिम्बात्मकेऽभवत् ॥ ५॥ ग्रन्थतः षट्सहस्रं तु सूत्रं तदपि संस्थितम् । संहितार्थस्य संक्षेपात्मकं सूत्रमुदाहृतम् ॥ ६ ॥ संहितासूत्रयोः सारं संगृहीतं मया मुने । तद्दत्तरामसंवादात्मकमेव पुरा कृतम् ॥ ७ ॥
