Sri Vallabhacharya - Pushti Darshan

62 Sri Vallabhacharya and his Doctrines
had a quarrel with Vitthala, Vallabha's second son, and did not give any MSS. to him. Vitthala tried his level best to
secure the MSS. of his father but succeeded in getting a fragment of the Anubhasya up to II!. 2.33 together with the
MSS. of- other works. Seeing the Bhasya incomplete he thought himself duty bound to complete it and he did it
accordingly. It is needless to mention that the big Bhasya of Vallabha is now irretrievably lost.
It is now clear from the external and internal evidence that the Anubhasya has been written by Vallabhacarya and his
son Vitthalesa that the latter's Bhasya begins from III. 2.34 and that Vallabha's Bhasya came to an abrupt end on
account of the loss of original MSS. due to the family quarrel. It can therefore be held, without any fear of
contradiction, that there is double authorship of Anubhasya. 25

handwriting of çßnÜðEÚ was shown by the head ×ãæÚæÁ of ÙæÍmæÚ to prof. Shastri, in the year 1928 and therefore the
fact that the fourth is the work of BèçßnÜðEÚ being corroborated by is no more a matter of
further inference of other lower evidences
