 शंकर The celebrated teacher of the Vedānta philosophy and author of the शारीरकभाष्य and of a large number of original works,  especially on Vedānta. He is said to have been born in 788 A. D. and to have died in 820 at the early age of 32. But some scholars (Mr. Telang,  Dr. Bhandarkar &c.) have tried to show that Śaṅkara's date must be the 6th or 7th century at the latest.

पुराणम्

English

शंकर १ / ŚAṄKARA I. A synonym of śiva.

शंकर २ / ŚAṄKARA II. A simpleton,  who was killed by his wife. This brahmin had a very mean wife called kalipriyā. After killing her husband she left the place with her paramour. But,  wild animals killed him on their way in the forest. In all repentance kalipriyā returned home and after worshipping the corpse of her husband she observed Kārttika vrata at the instance of certain women. Thereby she got absolution from sin and attained heaven. (padma purāṇa,  Brahmakhaṇḍa,  Chapter 10).
