  • PREFACE

    Three commentaries of this work are herein presented. The oldest of these was written by Kapardaswamin. Karavindiya and Sundararajiya are the other two commentaries and they depend upon the oldest commentary. Sundaraja mentions his gotra and the name of his father. In the case of Kapardaswamin, it may be stated that Sri Rāmānujācārya who belongs to the 11th century A.D. mentions him by name. Kapardaswamin, who had become famous by the 11th century, may therefore be placed a few centuries before Śrī Rāmānujācārya.

    The work of editing the Sulba Sutra of Apasthamba was begun by my predecessor, Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. R. Sharma Sastry, B.A., Ph.D., some years ago. He had prepared the press copy of the Kapardi Bhaṣya himself. About half of the work was printed during his time. I continued the work after I took charge of the Oriental Library upon his retirement. I may mention here that Pandit Srinivasa-gopalachar of the Oriental Library prepared the press copy of a large portion of the commentary by Karavinda and corrected some of the proofs.
