Re: Re; Vidyaranya (799 words)
On the other hand, Vidyaranya and Bharati Tirtha are also said to have directed Sayana and Madhava to write expository works, including the Veda Bhashyas and the dharmasastra text pArASara-mAdhavIyam.
Also, sometimes Vidyaranya is said to have written the Vedabhashyas, although all manuscripts, including the ones preserved at Sringeri, reputedly the original one, credit Sayana with their composition.
Vidyaranya is supposed to have been in Varanasi, when Bharati Tirtha passed away, and Harihara I sent an emissary to inform him of the news, and request him to come back to the south to take charge of the matha's activities.
