According to Mahesvara Bhattacarya (a commentator 
on the Daya-bhaga) Udgraha-malla (iv. 2. 6) and Udyota (ii. 9) 
are names of Smrti-writers. aie 
these the views of Balaka and Srikara Misra were 
adversely criticized. Balaka’s remarks are sneered at as bala- 
vacanam (as worthless as a child’s saying); and Srikara’s 
views are rejected with such remarks as tan-mandam, tad- 
alimandam, tad-asangatam. Accordingly some of the commen- 
tators (Ramabhadra, Acyutaénanda and Srikrsna) explain 
Acarya in the first verse of Ch. XV as alluding to Srikara. 
This explanation is not satisfactory, for Srikara has been 
nowhere called Acarya, but has been, on the other hand, given 
the title of Misra. 
Several quotations occur common in both the Daya-bhaga 
and the Mitaksara. But the resemblance is stronger between 
in Ch. III, 20 out of 34 and in Ch. IV, 38 out of 58, or more 
than five-eighths. From these resemblances it would be rash, 
however, to assert that one borrowed from the other ; for it 18
