(i) The Chandog-ahnik-oddhara,' the recovery of the Ahnika 
rules of the Samavedins, specially of those who have not kept 
up any domestic fire. seems to be a supplement of Sri- 
datta’s work, and is quoted by Raghunandana in the Ahnika 
tattva. ; : 
ii) The Prayascitta-pradipa,’ the lamp of expiations, & 
discussion of the various rules of expiations. 
(iii) The Sraddha-pradipa,” the lamp of funeral ceremonies, 
a discussion of the rules of funeral. It should be distinguished 
from the work of the same name by Varddhamana. 
_ The invocatory verse in the very beginning and the final 
colophon, in which Sankara Misra calls himself son of Bhavana- 
tha, identify the smrti writer with the philosopher. He must be 
older than Saka 1410 (1488 a.D.),in which year a MS. of Udayana’s 
Nydya-vartika-tatparya-tika was copied at the Caupadi (tol) of 
Mahamahopadhyaya-sanmisra-Srimac-Chankara at Sarsapa- 
grama.* As the guruof Varddhamana Upadhyaya, he should be 
about a generation older. His time thus falls roughly in the 
second and third quarters of the fifteenth century. 
7. VACASPATI MISRA. 
The most prominent Smrti-writer in the second half of the 
fifteenth century. He was a prolific author. In the Pir 
bhakti-tarangini, the latest of his extant works, towards the 
end he says that having composed in his youthful days ten 
works in the Sastra (darsana-sastra ?), and _ thirty works 
(nibandhas) in Smrti, now in his old age, he has e this 
(treatise). Several of these works are lost, but I have been 
able to trace out some twenty works of his in Smrti, and some 
suffix cintamam to their names, and : 
Nirnaya. Accordingly for facility of reference the smrti we 
will be grouped alphabetically under three heads :— 
(2) Works with the title Cintamani. 
(8) Works with the title Nirnaya.
