From among the less known astrological authorities may be mentioned Badarayana, Devakirti, Krsnaiditya, Maya and Sridhara. Suryadeva quotes also anonymous traditional verses and refers them to risis or Sampradayavid-s. 9. Commentary on the Mahabhaskarīya-vivaraņa The first work that Suryadeva wrote was a commentary on the Mahabhaskariya-vyakhya of Govinda-svami. He mentions this fact, as indicated earlier, towards the close of his commentary on the Laghumanasa, in the words : "The works written by me earlier are enumerated (here): First was commented the commentary Vivarana by Govinda-svami on Bhaskaracarya's Mahatantra (Mahabhaskariya).” Manuscripts of this commentary, however, are yet to be unearthed and therefore, the nature or extent of this commentary cannot be ascertained. Suryadeva should have given vent to his youthful ardour 1. For the edition of Govinda-swami's Vyakhya, see T. S.
