Mahīdhara
Mahīdhara was a 16th-century commentator on the Vedas. His treatises include the Mantramahodadhi, written around 1588, and the Vedadipa. The latter focuses on the Vajasaneyi-samhita of the White Yajurveda.
Mahīdhara's name is associated with a legendary mountain described in the Mahabharata, which is also an epithet of Vishnu.
Mahīdhara's commentaries belong to a period later than that of Yaska.
