Dr. Eggeling, following Dr. Rajendralāla Mitra, makes the author an inhabitant of Benares. But the word Kāśyām in the last verse gives the name of his mother and not that of the place of his birth. This is plain from the reading of the last verse as given by Rājendralāla, as well as from the colophon of his MS., which runs :
“afa karamelfaafaatumefaasitua-. facfqat”
