7) Owing to the loss of the 1st folio of the MS of the GA-
I am unable to say what information it contained
about the author and his work. In my analysis of the MS
I have indicated several verses quoted by Vanamālin
during the course of his polemical discussion. Though
incorrectly written, these verses are good composition but
I cannot say if they are Vanamālin's own composition or
his teacher's. On folios 3 and 4 he refers to his teacher
"" who needs to be identified. Perhaps the
first folio now missing in our MS may have contained a
reference to this आचार्य.

8) I have reserved for another paper a study of the other
works of our Vanamālin, some MSS of which have been
traced by me in the Govt. MSS library at the B.O.R. Insti-
tute. In three' of these works Vanamālin refers to his
teacher as मरुत� [marut ] in the expressions � आचार्यान� श्रीमरुन्मुख्यान� [ācāryān śrīmarunmukhyān ] "
" मरुतमाचार्� [ܳٲ峦ⲹ ] " and " मरुदंश. [ܻ岹ṃśa. ] Perhaps the name मारु�-
[ܳٲ-

"of the present work may contain a reference to
this teacher मरुत�.

In view of the data collected above I am inclined to assign
वनमालिन्, [Բ, ] the author of the मारुतमण्डन, [ܳٲṇḍԲ, ] to the period, A. D. 1575-1650.

The (Adyar MS) may be our author's work.
The Adyar MS of the work needs to be examined with a view to
proving this suggestion.
