A Hindu philosopher and conniu'ntator on the VvdCnita (q.v.). Ac- cording to tradition he was born in the village of Kalapi in Kerala or Malabar, and was the son of Sivagurus'arman. He f<nnided a famous school at Sringagiri, but later journcyi'd as far as Kashmir and died at Kanci, a village there.

An enormous nundDer of works is attributed to him, most of which are iloubtless spurious. He is one of the most important fig- ures in the history of Hindu philosophy because of his BrfihiiiiisutrabliasyO, a commentary which is indispensable for an understanding of the Brulniiasutras of Badarayana, the founder of the Vedanta school of philosoj)hy (edited at Boniliay, 1890-91).
