A CATALOGUE OF SOUTH INDIAN SANSKRIT MANUSCRIPTS, DR. M. WINTERNITZ

English

He relates that at one time, when Buddhism was triumphant (Svetamarge pura tena sugatena suba- dhite), he had himself outwardly professed that reli-; gion, for which reason he is not fit to compose varttikas on the Bhasya. He indicates a pupil Vi&varupa, living in Magadha, as a substitute. S. converts Yisvarupa from Buddhism. The story of Yi^varupa’s wife Yarn, daughter of Visnumitra, dwelling near the river Sona, shows some reminiscences of Bana’s Har?acarita adhy. I. YI (14a, 1. 1): ViSvarupa receives the sannyasa name of Sure&vara. Saipkara composes fifteen bhasyas (ten on Upanisads), and Sanandana (Yi?pu6arman) writes a tlka on the Bhasya, while Sure§vara is the author of the Nai§karmyasiddhi and two Yarttikas. On the way to Gokarna, Samkara obtains a third disciple Hastamalaka (Kancanavarnin 23b, 11. 4—5) at. a village called Sivavihara. A fourth, exceedingly devoted, was Totaka. YH (17 a, 1. 2): Sanandana obtains at Haridvar the name Padmapada. ^amkara, journeying to Ramasetu, bathes in the river Suvarpamukharl at Kalahastiksetra, also called Daksinakailasa. Praise of Kancl. YlII (20a,1.3): ^.visitsPundarlntapura (Pundarlka23b, 1.7), where is the tlrtha Sivaganga. Then to Srlranga: then bathes at the Dhanuskotitirtha at Ramasetu. IX (24a, L 9): 6. revisits Kancl and . mounts the Sarvajna pltha. Then to Yrsacala, where he dwells and dies at Daksinakailasa. Recapitulation in the form of an aSlrvada. This work professes to be composed by Govindanatha, friend of Saipkara (23 a, 1. 1): — idam grl-Samkaracaryyacaritarp lokapavanam kptaip Govindanathena yatibhaktisahayatah.

The former makes no mention of the author, but the latter accepts without question the above statement of the MS. ascribing it to Saipkara’s disciple G-ovindanatha. Although I cannot agree with Burnell’s statement that the book is ‘full of miracles 7 and the litany at the end may be an addition, it is im¬ possible to ascribe such an antiquity to a work which cites (3 a, L 1) among the distinguished sons of the Kerala country Medinlkara, apparently the author of the Medinl- ko§a.
