Re: Ramanuja & Bhagavatam

From the Bhakti List Archives

kuntimaddi sadananda • January 21, 2003 


I do not think Shankara had referenced to Bhagavatam either.  There is a
theory that Bhagavatam came into existence much latter - 11 th or 12th
century, although it is attributed to Vyaasa. Same is true with respect
to Brahmasuutra-s of Badarayana.  Vishal Agarwaal had a post related to
this. 

Hari OM!
