Ramabhadra followed the footsteps of his father in encour- 
aging the study of Sanskrit. Under his patronage Vacaspati 
Misra, his parisad, wrote in his old age probably his last smrti 
work, the Pitr-bhakti-tarangini, and Varddhamana compiled at 
Brahmin king, and after paying a visit to the king returned 
to Prayaga (Allahabad), a fact which he noted at the chapter 
ends of his commentary on the Sarasvata grammar.* 
Ramabhadra must be older than La. sam 376, Pausa vadi 
! See the P. bh. Tarangini (Ind. Govt. MS. 897, fol. 84a), the final
