<br />
'''Bapudeva Sastri''' or '''Narasimha Deva Paranjpe''' (1821–1900) was an Indian scholar in Sanskrit and mathematics.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
He was born on 1 November 1821, to a Brahmin family of Maharashtra. He received his early education in [[arithmetic]] and [[algebra]] at the Marathi school in [[Nagpur]]. He also studied the [[Lilāvati]] and [[Bijaganita]] under ''Dhundiraja Misra''.<br />
Noting his talent, the British political agent [[Lancelot Wilkinson]] secured his admission to the Sehore Sanskrit school where he studied [[Siddhānta Shiromani]], Euclidean Geometry and European science in general under Pandit Sevarama and Wilkinson himself. In 1842 Sastri went to [[Government Sanskrit College, Varanasi]], where he taught rekha-ganita (Euclidean Geometry). In 1890 [[Sudhakar Dwivedi]] was appointed the teacher of [[mathematics]] and [[astrology]] after Bapudeva Sastri, retired in 1889.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Joseph W. Dauben|author1-link=Joseph W.

==Scholarly works==<br />
Bapudeva Sastri translated the [[Siddhānta Shiromani]] (a treatise on Hindu mathematics written in the twelfth century by [[Bhaskaracharya]]) and published it in [[Benares]] in 1891. With Lancelot Wilkinson, Sastri wrote commentary on ''The [[Surya Siddhanta]]'' (a treatise on Hindu astronomy).<br />
