[INDOLOGY] Candraananda's Date

[Elliot Stern]

Dear John,

sucaritamiśra’s kāśikā appears to refer to the beginning of candrānanda’s commentary as bhāṣya here (part of comment to ślokavārttikam 1.23:1.8.25-9.5):

na param anupāttaḥ sambandhaḥ, niṣprayojanaścety āha — yopītidvayena | kāṇāde hi tantre kriyānantaryarūpaḥ sambandho
darśitaḥ | evaṃ hi tatra bhāṣyakāreṇoktaṃ - ko dharma ityādikān śiṣyeṇodīritān pañcapraśnānapekṣyāha - athāto dharmaṃ vyākhyāsyāma iti |

Kei Kataoka places sucaritamiśra in the first half of the 11th century (Sucaritamisra' s Critique of Apohα… 2014 (page 341(22)). If his arguments hold, sucarita is somewhat earlier than helārāja.

Elliot
