Gaudapada, Isvarakrsna commentator can not be the same to write the Mandukyakarika;
the opposition of the philosophies is too evident. Amar Nath Ray, The Mandukya

Pravacana Samkhya-sutra ", attributed by tradition to Kapila, the seconds do important
classical treatises of this school. Its probable date is the fourteenth century, since neither
Cunaratna or Madhava in his allusion to the Sarvadarsanasamgraha Lacen. Several
comments: Aniruddha (fifteenth century) writes the Samkhya-sutravrtti (ed. R. Garbe,
Calcutta, Biblioteca Indica, 1888; good English Translation of the same: Aniruddha's
Commentary, Calcutta, Biblioteca Indica, 1892). Mahadeva (after 1600) composed a
commentary (vrttisara) without much interest (the main fragments have been studied and
translated by Garbe). Samkhya-pravacana-bhasya of Vijnanabhiksu (sixteenth century) is
the most important commentary on the Sutra (R. Garbe edition, Harvard Oriental Series,
1895; traduction Ger-man by himself, Samkhya-pravacana-bhasya,

Tattva-Samasa, concise treatise that includes only 22 sloka was attributed to Kapila, but
the text is quite tardlo (siglos xiv-xv). Max Muller (Six Systems of Indian Philosophy,
London, 1899, p. 242) thought, incorrectly, that is the oldest text of the Samkhya
literature.
