@moewe, as you can see from the screenshot, the name Amarasiṃha appears twice. This happens with other authors as well.

@latamahesh I'm probably being extremely thick, but I can only see Amarasiṃha once in the name position. Maybe you can draw some circles on the image to show what you mean?

@moewew, here is the second image. it had disappeared mysteriously.

@latamahesh Is that at the top of a new page? biblatex-philosophy will explicitly repeat the name on a new page so your readers don't have to flick back to find out the author. This is a feature.

But if you must disable it, you can try

\newbibmacro*{bbx:dashcheck}[2]{%
  \ifboolexpr{
    test {\iffieldequals{fullhash}{\bbx@lasthash}}
    and
    (
       not bool {bbx@inset}
       or
       test {\iffieldequalstr{entrysetcount}{1}}
    )
  }
    {#1}
    {#2}}

I wouldn't do that, though.

Thanks, but this happens only when the first occurrence of the author is on an odd page, for instance, the entry Amarasimha began on p. 321 and continued on 322. At the end of p. 322 we have a similar situation. However, here the author’s name is not repeated on 323. Is it because in a two-sided book it can be easily seen?

@latamahesh Yes, biblatex's page tracker has different settings and can take into account double-sided printing (in which case it will only force repetition of the name on even/left pages). You can read a bit more about this in the biblatex documentation. Look for pagetracker.

Thanks a lot! Will read more about this.

Hello, Here is the screenshot of one page. In the main document, it is english and not English. I have fully updated the system. If I only run the example file, then I do not get the problem on my laptop. I get it only when I run the entire file. Best regards, Lata Dr. Lata Mahesh Deokar, Mercator Fellow, Department of Indology and Tibetology, Philipps University, Marburg, Germany Visiting Faculty, Department of Pali, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune

@latamahesh I can't see a screenshot, it appears to have gone missing when you sent the mail.

Is this about the code above or about your other question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/551308/35864?

Unfortunately, this looks like an issue that I won't be able to diagnose without seeing code that replicates the problem. It is possible that this is a very elusive problem where building an MWE is complex and takes quite long, but I'm afraid it is the only good way forward, if you want people to be able to help you.
