Bh膩vami艣ra (膧yurveda scholar)
Bh膩vami艣ra follows the ancient scriptures and collects their basic judgments and new subjects in his texts. His famous book is Bh膩vaprak膩艣a. This Bh膩vaprak膩艣a is the last and most important book of Laghutray墨. Bh膩vami艣ra's father's name was La峁璦kana (惭颈艣谤补). He was 艢补颈惫补. He mentioned this in many places. 骋补苍别艣补 is worshipped in the opening verse and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is mentioned by the words 艢r墨pati and Madhus奴dana. Trideva i.e., 叠谤补丑尘腻, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, Mahe艣a and Hanum膩na are also mentioned in the text. According to 膧肠腻谤测补 Priyabrata Sharma, the period of Bh膩vami艣ra seems to be between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, i.e., the sixteenth century. Another of his works is Gu峁嘺ratnam膩l膩. Which is probably based on the 狈颈驳丑补峁囜弓耻 part of the Bh膩vaprak膩艣a[1].
