For the age of the work see p. II of the preface to the printed edition. There it has been stated that Varadarāja lived after Udayana (Samvat 1041) and before his commentator Jñānapūrṇa (Samvat 1147).
See in this connection MM. Gopinatha Kavirāja's preface to the Kusumāñjalibodhani, Sb, Benares, who calls him a native of Mithila.
Tārkikarakṣā of Varadarāja (A.D. 1000) also followed the scheme of Jayanta Bhaṭṭa and wrote simple Kārikās on the sixteen topics of Nyaya, one after another.
