Dear list,
I am looking for any biographical information - or suggestions on where
to find the same - for the jyotirvid Harikṛṣṇa who completed his
"Bṛhajjyotiṣārṇava" in 1871.
So far, all I have is the following bit of information from Gudrun
Bühnemann's "Maṇḍala's and Yantras in the Hindu Tradition" (BRILL,
2003), p. 74:
"Harikṛṣṇa's father was Veṅkaṭarāma, an audīcya Brahmin of Gujarāt of
the audīcya-sahasra branch who resided in Aurangabad. Veṅkaṭarāma
belonged to the vājasaneya-śākhā of the White Yajur-Veda and the
gautama-gotra."
Any assistance will be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jacob
