From the colophon of this work we learn that this Charukirti resided in Śravana Belgola (where the world-renowed image of Gommatesvara exists) and belonged to Desi Gana. Gommatesvara or Vahuvali is saluted
in two verses at the end1.
Pandit Bhujavali Sastri is of opinion that it is very probable that this Charukirti was the author of the same name who composed commentaries on Pārsvābhyudaya, Chandraprabha kavya, Adipurāṇa, Yasodharacharita, Neminirvāņa etc. The Pattadhisas of Śravana Belgola are all known by the common name of Charukirti. So it is difficult to settle who this particular person was.
