Re: [INDOLOGY] Vācaspati Miśra

[Matthew Kapstein]

Thanks to Elliot Stern, Isabelle Ratié, and Dominik Wujastyk for confirming that rumors of a single Vācaspatimiśra were indeed  "fake news." I must admit that I was not quite aware of the Pandit Project and look forward to exploring it more fully.

Dear friends,


I seem to recall from my student days that Vācaspati Miśra was often treated as two: Vācaspati Miśra I and Vācaspati Miśra II.


However, it now seems that this doubling has disappeared and he is mostly treated as a single figure.


Can you refer me to any work that explicitly discusses and resolves the issue?


with thanks in advance,

Matthew
