Dear Elliot,

Thank you, but isn't HelArAja 10th century? I thought that was widely accepted, and is the basis for the terminus ante queen accepted by Halbfass, Aklujkar, and Isaacson...

I hope you are well. It's been a long time...

Cheers,
John

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.

Dear John,
A detailed discussion of the chronology of Candraananda can be found in pp. 140-143 of Harunaga Isaacson's Materials for the study of the Vaiśeṣika system (unpublished PhD thesis, Leiden 1995, Rijksuniversiteit).

Betreff: Re: [INDOLOGY] Candraananda's Date

Dear Indology Listmembers,

Is anyone aware of any work done on the date of Candraananda, the author of the Vai”se.sikasuutrav.rtti?

I am aware of Aklujkar’s contribution to the question (Aklujkar, Ashok, “Candraananda’s Date,” Journal of the Oriental Institute (Baroda) 19.4(1969-1970): 340-341) and that Halbfass addressed the question in his very fine book, _On Being and What There is_ (1992: 79-80, 237, and 262, fn. 2).

Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
John
