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.
