There are several authors of the name of Narayana of whom four attained dis-
tinction in mathematics, astronomy and astrology. The most important of
them as a mathematician was Naraya Pandita, son of Nrsimha Daivajna, who
flourished during the reign of Firuz Shah (1351-1388). He composed two works,
one on arithmetic the Ganitakaumudi and the other on lagebra the Bijaganita-
vatamsa. He was clearly influenced by Bhaskara II; nevertheless, his works
attaracted wide notice and became quite popular as is evidenced by the exis-
tence of a number of commentaries by Jnanaraja, Suryadasa, Ganesa and others.
His algebra is a work of greater merit and is divided into two parts : (i)laws
of sing,s arithmetic of zero, operations with unknown quantities, surds, pul-
verizer, square nature, cyclic method, and (ii) four kinds oa analysis,sim-
ple equations. In his discussions, he clearly follows Aryabhata, Brahmagupta,
sridhara and Bhaskara.
