9 wrote the commentary called Tatparyadipika on the Sutasam- hita, set in order the deranged Upanishadic lore, and was conrequently known as the उपनिषन्मार्गप्रतिष्ठागुरुः । It has to be noted that Madhava-Mantri was a different person from Madhavacharya, the aucyclopedic author and commentator. Madhavacharya was the son of Mayana of the Bharadvaja-gotra and was also the k laguru and minister of Bukka I, and when he entered th: ascetic order of life, he came to be known as Vidyaranya. His two brothers were Sayana and Bhoganatha, of whom the former distinguished himself like Madhava-Mantrin as a wielder of the pen, the sceptre, and the sword. Sayana who wrote the famous commentaries on the four Vedas in conjunction with his illustrious brother Madhavacharya, was the minister of Bukka I, Kampana, Sangama II and Harihara II, and he appears also to have taken part in angama's campaign against Champa. Harihara I lived, according to the latest insoription of his reign hitherto discovered, till S 1268, which is also the initial date of the reign of his brother Bukkadeva I. Bukka advised his son Kampana to conquer the south only after his accession to the throne, that is, some time after 8' 1268. Kampana and his general Goppana seem have lived, till about 1275, not far from the capital. is from the year S 1282 thas Kampana figures as the governor of the Mulvagilu-rajya I and in the course of one year his conquest extended over the Tondai-mandalam. An inscription dated S' 1283 is actually found engraved in the Siva temple at Achcharavakkam, The conquest of the Tondai-mandalam should therefore have occur- red between S' 1282 to 1283.
