I have a different edition of HBV that follows a different numbering system.

Could you give the Sanskrit of the first words of these two quotes?

I could not find any references to GS in the Sandarbhas.

 

There are different authors who share the name Garga.

 

¬g-veda 6.47 is composed by Garga Bh€radv€ja.

 

Vddha Garga (the old Garga) is the author of an astronomical work.

 

N€rada Bhakti S™tra 17 says: kath€div iti gargaƒ, "Garga Muni says that

bhakti is fondness for narrations about the Lord, by the Lord, and so on."

 

I have not seen Visvanatha quoting GS, but then again, I haven't read all

that VTC wrote.

 

In the "r…-caitanya-bh€gavatera gau…ya-bh€ya-dhta

pram€Ša-grantha-t€lik€", Garga Samhita is not listed.

(the list of works quoted in the commentary to Caitanya Bhagavata)

 

The Vacaspatyam Sanskrit-Sanskrit dictionary lists under "Garga-samhita"

"k€la-jñ€na-saˆhit€ | garga-kte jyotia-grantha-bhede", "A certain work on

astronomy written by Garga."

 

The Hindi preface to the Venkateshvara Steam Press edition of the GS does

not contain any text critical notes.
