Somakirtti wrote Pradyumna-charita in V.S. 1531 expressed in the following prasasti of the work:--
Somakirtti.
संवत्सरे सत्तिथि संज्ञके वै (?) वर्षे ऽत्रयत्र शैकयुते पवित्रे विनिर्मितं पौषमुदेश्च तस्यां त्रयोदशीयां बुधवारयुक्ता (?)
The date expressed here is the 13th of Pausha Sukla, Wednesday, V.S. 1531 which is equivalent to Wednesday, the 21st September 1474 A. D.
His second work "Yasodhara charita" was completed in Samvat 1536.
