The Nydya-lilavati-prakasa-didhiti-viveka, a sub-sub- 
commentary of Raghunatha’s sub-commentary of Varddhami- 
s Vaisesika work. 
(vi) The Sabd-dloka-viveka, a sub-commentary of Jaya. 
deva’s Aloka, Sabda-khanda. 
Nothing personal is known of Gunananda. He is criticized 
(in the Nyaya-khandana-khadya) by the Jaina logician Yasovijaya 
ani, whose time is given as 1608-1688 a.p. and a MS. of 
whose Upadesa-rahasyam (with vrtti) is dated Samvat 1713 
or 1656 a.p.! The Jaina author came across Gunananda’s 
works probably when studying at Benares, i.e. in his younger 
days. So Gunananda must be older than 1630-40 a.p. Fur 
ther he must be older than Saka 1534 or 1612, a.p. in which 
year a MS. of his Guna-vivrti-viveka was copied.? How much 
older he was there are at present no data to go upon. But 
he must be considerably later than Raghunatha, four of whose 
works he commented upon. His time may be placed roughly im 
the third or fourth quarter of the sixteenth century.
