The Brahmasutras is one of the three basic texts of Vedānta philosophy. In his scholarly commentary on the same which is now known as the Srihāsya, Rāmānuja[1] refers to a few earlier commentators of his school of philosophy, one of whom is Taṅka.
Bodhāyana is said to have written a Vrtti[2] on the Brahmasutras, which was further elucidated by others like Guhadeva, Taṅka and Dramiḍa. Nothing more is known about any of them.
