Dear friends,

Since Vacaspati Mishra wrote Bhamati, Sri Vidyashankaar (who was born much later than Adi Shankaracharya) has to be left out, but was there not any other Shankarachaya, who could have done it with the same diction. I understand that there were five Shankaracharyas, who are considered by some, as the reicarnations of Adi Shankaracharya, i.e., these few Shankaracharyas  were so very much similar to Adi Shankaracharya in their intellectual stature.

May be the treatment of the Panchikarana and other topics may give some help. As Sri Sureshvaracharya also wrote on Panchikarana, the bhasyakara could have been Adi Shankaracharya. The mention of Purnavarman (alias Haala), the Magadha king of the Satavahana  dynasty, in the BS Bhasya, may also support this. 

Regards,
Sunil KB

 If one goes by the diction and thought content the Bashya of
 BS is by Sri Adi Shankara only. R. Krishnamoorthy.

       Dear friends,
 
 
 
 Many of us, if not all of us, know  that the Brahmasutra
 (BS) was composed by Badarayana Vyasa  and not by
 Krishnadvaipayana Vyasa or Vedavyasa. Has any work been done
 on the authorship of the first BS-bahhya, though it is
 generally attributed to  Adi Shankara? I mean, has anybody
 looked for internal evidences to establish that it was
 surely by Adi Shankara, or it could be by any other Shakara
 such as Abhinavashankara or Vidyashankara or Kripashankara,
 whom some consider to  be an avatara of Adi Shankara.
