A cursory glance at the Sutras of the two, shows how closely they resemble each other. Pischel has already showed this in his edition of Hemacandra's Prakrit Grammar by noting in the margin similar Sutras in Trivikrama's grammar. The slight difference is due to terminology and metrical form of the latter. A very few Sutras from the Apabrhmsa section are quoted in the following table as illustration.

Trivikrama's time cannot be settled with any certainty. He is later than Hemacandra, i. e. than 1172, and earlier than Kumaraswamin, son of Mallinatha Kolacala, who quotes him both by name and without it. The time of Mallinatha himself is uncertain; but he is believed, after Aufrecht,± to have lived not earlier than the 14th century. Prof. Hultzsch an inscription has pointed out that while a verse of Mallinatha occurs in of 1532, he quotes the Vasantarājāya which was comosed about 1400 A. D. Mallinatha must therefore be referred to the end of the 15th century.
Trivikrama may thus be relegated to the fourteenth century at the latest.± Bhattanāthaswamin's claim that Kātayavema (circa 1400 ) quotes from Trivikrama is disproved by Trivedi, who has shown that the Sutras are One only is common to partly from Vararuci, partly from Hemacandra. This allows a sufficient time between Hemacandra Hema and Trivikrama. and Trivikrama, for the Paṭṭana grammarian to be quoted and made free use of by a southerner.

Laksmidhara, in his Sadbhāsācandrika, explains the same 1085 Sutras as have been commented on by Trivikrama, with the difference that
