It is clear from the above three verses quoted by our author that he composed this greizarare earlier than his composition of the asfararegu. Perhaps a Ms. of Raghunātha's छन्दोरनावलि may be discovered hereafter. The present paper has added two more works to the only work aralasia of Raghunātha, known to the students of the history of Sanskrit literature. It has also given us the names of his father for and his grandfather कृष्णपण्डित not found in the Mss. of the वैद्यविलास as we find them described in our Catalogues of Sanskrit Mss. The genealogy of रघुनाथ मनोहर thus goes back to about A. D. 1600.
As regards the native place of Raghunātha we learn from the India Office. Ms. of the वैद्यविलास that it was चंपावती which has been wrongly identified with Bhagalpur by Dr. Eggelinge in his description of this Ms. As the author was a
1. B. B.R. A.S, Mss Catalogue by H. D. Velankar. Vol. I, 1925 describes 2 Mss of the Vaidyavilāsa. He describes the work as follows on p.70:
"A popular treatise on medicine in 10 Chapters (tarangas ) composed in 1697 A.D. by Raghunathapandita of the Manohara family and a resident of चंपावती (भागलपूर). For another Ms of the work having only 6 Chapters Cf. I.O. No. 2695. See also Ulvar Cata, p. 72." The Ms end:-" इति द्रव्यप्रमाणम् ।
ग्रहेन्दुरसचन्द्रे च शाके मासि च कार्तिक । अयं वैद्यविलासश्च चरितो वृषवत्सरे ॥ ५२ ।।
