Govindasvāmi (orGovindasvāmin, Govindaswami) (c. 800 – c. 860) was an Indian mathematicalastronomer most famous for his Bhashya, a commentary on the MahābhāskarīyaofBhāskara I, written around 830. The commentary contains many examples illustrating the use of a Sanskritplace-value system and the construction of a sine table.[1]
His work Govindakriti was a sequel to Āryabhaṭīya and is lost. Other works attributed to Govindasvami includeGovinda-paddhati (on astrology) and Ganita-mukha (on mathematics). Like Govinda-kriti, these are lost, and known only from mentions and quotations by later writers such as Sankaranarayana and Udayadivakara.[2]
