(1) The work survives in a single palm-leaf Ms. in the Government Collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal No. 48134, with a Colophon dated 388 of Laksmansamvat corresponding to 1507 A.D. The Ms. is analysed and described by Prof. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee in the Proceedings and Transactions of the Fourth Oriental Conference, Vo. II, Allahabad, 1928, pp. 553-621, in an article entitled “The Varna-Ratnākara of Joytiriśvara Kaviśekharācārya.” The general dynastic history and culture of Mithilā of this period is very ably described by Manmohan Chakravarti in an article published in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1915, at pp. 407-433.
