But see:
Ruegg, David Seyfort, "On the Authorship
of Some Works Ascribed to Bhåvaviveka/Bhavya," in _Earliest
Buddhism and Madhyamaka_, eds., David Seyfort Ruegg and Lambert
Schmithausen, 59-71, E.J. Brill, Leiden, 1990.
Similarly, David Seyfort Ruegg gives
Bhavya's date as c. 500-570 ("The Literature of the Madhyamaka
School of Philosophy in India", A History of Indian Literature
vol. VII, ed. Jan Gonda, Otto Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden 1981, p.
61).
I therefore hardly think that we at all
need to mention Bhavya and his works in the context of trying to date
ZaMkara.
