[- § 96 Later Sectarian Schools 113 Dhatunirnaya. A Ganapatha to the Saupadma has been supplied by Kašīśvara and a com. on it by Ramākānta. There are also minor works on and r attaching to the school, and a supplement has also later been tacked on to it. 94. Present status of the Saupadma.-At present the in- fluence of the school is limited to parts of central Bengal that is, to Jessore, Khulna and Bharatpur in the Twenty- four Paraganas. Later Sectarian Schools 95. Later Sectarian Schools.-We now come to a class of grammarians who have carried to extremes the ten- dency, already present, as we saw, in Bopadeva, to make grammar the vehicle of religion; and prominent amongst these are the Vaishnava grammars called Harināmāmrita. 96. Horināmāmṛita-There are two works going by this name. The one by Rüpagosvämin, the companion and disciple of Chaitanya (1484-1527) and the author of several other Vaishnava works, is perhaps the older of the two. The peculiarity of this work is the employ- ment of various names of Krishna and Rädhä, and of their acts, not simply by way of illustration but as actual technical terms. Thus the vowels of the pratyahāra are each designated by the different incarnations of Vishnu, the theory being--- after a càst (?) teada! STAVEOAUTagt fag: 11 As is to be expected, beyond the introduction of this sectarian element no other improvement on the existing texts of grammar is here to be met with. The whole subject is presented to us in a dull uninteresting manner. 15 [Sk. Gr. ]
