Thus, Muni Śrī Punyavijayaji has mentioned the Sārāvalī Prakīrṇaka amongst the twenty-two prakīrṇakas. The lack of mention of Sārāvalī Prakīrṇaka in the lists contained in the Nandi-sūtra and the Pāksikasūtra and the works of Ācārya Jinaprabha clearly means that Särāvalī Prakīrnaka is of a later origin than the Nandīsūtra and the Pākṣikasūtra. That is, it was composed sometime after the 14th century AD.
