“Thus ends the Siddhanta-darpap4 by Nilakantha of the Gargya-gotra, (resident) of Keralasad-grama " This leaves 10 doubt about the name of the author, his descent and his provemance . This is reinforced by the words of the scribe Sarikara of one of the Text manuscripts which reads as follows (see p५32, below) : However, the only manuscript of the commentary available to us and which forms the basis of the present edition thereof, is unfortunately, incomplete, with its beginning and end lost and with no specific mention of its authorship anywhere in it. But, besides the close similarity of the style and diction of the commentary of the Slddhanta-darp00 with that of Nilakantha's Aryabharya-Blasya, there are ample circum stantial evidences to identify its author as Nilakantha himself गाग्र्य-केरलसड्ग्राम-नीलकण्ठेन निर्मितम् । सिद्धान्तदर्पणं शास्त्रमलिखत् शङ्कराभिधः ।। In his works Nilakantha often refers to his teacher Damodara (on him see below, pp. xwi-xix) and guotes him. C. the passages : 1. निबद्धं च तत् तदैव अस्मद्गुरुभिः पञ्चभिरुपजातिभिः–अर्कस्फुटेन' etc. 2. कालक्रियापादे प्रकारान्तरेण ‘चन्द्रबाहुफलवर्गे'त्यादिना श्रीमद्-दामोदरा ह्वयादस्मद्गुरुमुखोद्गतेन श्लोकेनोक्ता । 3. यद्वा यत्र यत्र त्रिज्यया कर्णेन वा कर्म कार्य स्यात तत्र तत्र विपरीतकर्मणा नीतेन कक्ष्याव्यासार्धेन त्रिज्यातुल्येन स्फुटकक्ष्याव्यासार्धेन च कर्म कार्यम् । तच्चोक्तमस्मदाचायैः The third of the above passages occurs in identical strain in the Commentary of the Siddlla ta-da7a177 also, pointing to the identity of the authorship of the two commentaries : C. तत्र त्रिज्ययोक्तं कर्म विपरीत कर्मानीतेन कार्यम्, कणक्तं कर्म त्रिज्यया च । तदपि 1. ‘सर्वत्र विष्कम्भदलं श्रुतौ वा व्यासार्धके स्याद् विपरीतकर्णः । ' ‘सर्वत्र विष्कम्भवलं श्रुतौ वा व्यासार्धके स्याद् विपरीतकर्णः । इति अस्मद्गुरुणा उक्तम् । (See below, p. 30). 2. 3.
