kara, Misra and others.’ This, if true, would make Jimuta- 
vahana later than Candesvara and Mi&ra (i.e. Vacaspati Misra). 
But Jimatavahana does not anywhere name either Candesvara 
or Vacaspati Misra. In the only place the commentator has 
cited Migra he seems to refer rather to the opinion of a 
school than to that of any individual writer. On the other 
hand the Kala-viveka of Jimitavahana is quoted as an authority 
not only in the Sraddha-cintamani* of Vacaspati Misra, but 
veka of Silapani who as I have already 
to the opinion of the school as recorded by Candesvara. Even 
if the commentators had meant to refer this passage to Candes- 
vara in person, their remark can have little value historically 
on account of their ignorance about sequence. In fac i 
all excepting probably two dozens have been borrowed from the 
Krtya-kalpa-taru, vyavahara-khanda. So this similarity in quo 
tations gives no help in deciding the question of priority, a0 
the onus is on those who assert the late age of Jim ttavahans 
To me the most serious objection to the assumption of an 
early age lies in the fact that neither Jimiitavahana nor any of 
his works has as yet been traced by name in any of the oar 
y any smrti-writers until we come to the time of Silapant 
To this question no satisfactory answer has been given & ' 
none is really possible until all the available smrti works 0 
the period are critically examined. But at present to! 
non-existence from mere silence would be rash. n the Con
