He set a great example to modernize ayurvĕda by incorporating new drugs, diseases, procedures of treatment etc. and making ayurvĕda up to date. He was the son of Latakanamiśra. Bhăvamiśra was an orthodox Brahmin. He belonged to Măgada (South Bihar in North India). Date can be determined from the following points. The latest text from which Bhăvamiśra was quoted is Madanapăla Nighaņţu. This was completed in 1347 A.D. and this will be the upper limit for the date of Bhăvamiśra.
