It was recited also to Vardhamâna and Guņachandragaņi.
The date Samyat 1241 is that of the composition of the work. It was written in Gurjarendrapura, i, e., Patan. The number of the slokas is 1,800. The copy now at Patan was written at Cambay by one Kheta to the order apparently of a disciple of Jatyatilaka.
Forty-eight of these manuscripts are dated, as follows :
No. 1. Saptatikáchûrni. Samvat 1118=A.D. 1062. This is twenty years older than the oldest book in the Government of Bombay Collection of Palm-Leaf MSS.
No. 2. Yogadrishtisamuchchaya. By Haribhadra. With a commentary. Samvat 1146=A. D. 1090.
No. 3, Oghaniryukti. Samrat 1154= A.D. 1098. No. 4. Pratikramaṇachûrni. Sanıvat 1178= A.D. 1122. No. 5. Oghaniryukti. Samvat 1181=A.D. 1125. No. 6. Jinadattâkhyânam. Samvat 1186= A.D. 1130.

No. 8. Bhagavatîtîka. By Abhayadeva. Samvat 1187 = A. D 1131. Abhayadeva composed this book in 1128, and died in Samvat 1135, so that this copy was written only fifty-two years after the author's death.
No. 9. Sabdânusâsanatikâ. By Hemachandra. Samvat 1216 = A. D. 1160. Hemachandra was alive when this copy of his grammar was written at Pattan, where it has remained ever since.
