&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mahīdhara&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;quot;earth-bearing&amp;quot;) was a 16th-century commentator of the [[Vedas]]. His treatises include the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mantramahodadhi&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[mantra]]-uda-dhí&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;quot;great ocean of mantras&amp;quot;) of ca. 1588, and the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vedadipa&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;veda-dīpa&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;quot;light of the Vedas&amp;quot;). The latter concerns the Vajasaneyi-samhita of the [[White Yajurveda]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mahīdhara&amp;#039;s namesake is a legendary mountain described in the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mahabharata]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which is also an [[epithet]] of [[Vishnu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The commentaries of &amp;quot;[[Sayana]]&amp;quot;, Skanda, Venkata , &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mahīdhara&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, etc are of recent times. All of them belong to a time &amp;#039;&amp;#039;later&amp;#039;&amp;#039; than [[Yāska|Yaska]]&amp;#039;s. According to [[Dayananda Saraswati|Swami Dayananda]] these commentaries were &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;fine&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. [[Dayananda Saraswati|Swami Dayanada]] based his commentary on the [[Brahmana]]s and the [[Nirukta]] . His interpretations are based mainly on the [[Etymology|etymological]] method.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mahīdhara&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was equally an important commentator on the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Yajurveda]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; but from his [[Bhashya|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bhasya&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]] it is quite evident that he was a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vamachara|Vāma mārgi]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and believed in the [[Tantra|Tantrika]] school of ritualists.&lt;br /&gt;
