*P.* 205 & n. 60. Jñānadeva was a descendant (*suta*) in the pupil's line, that is, really a disciple of Nivṛittinātha. At the conclusion of his work he says that Nivṛittinātha was a pupil of Gahininātha and that the latter was a pupil of Gorakshanātha who himself was a pupil of Matsyendranātha. If Jñānadeva's date was Śaka 1212 (= 1290 A.D.), Gorakshanātha has to be placed about the beginning of the 13th century A.D.
