v1.c49.2

² *IOC* vii p. 1534, at p. 1535. The verse quoted from Kavicandra's work in *ABod* 212a says that the author was a *bhiṣak* son of Kavikarṇapūra and Kausalyā, and grandson of Vidyā-viśarada. The colophon says that he belonged to the Datta family, and lived in the Dīrghāṅka village *iti dīrghāṅka-grāma-nivāsi-dattakulodbhava-vaidya-śrī-kavicandra-viracitāyām* etc. It is not clear whether Kavikarṇapūra, author of the *Caitanya-candrôdaya*, is identical with Kavikarṇapūra, father of Kavicandra. If it is so, then this colophon is not intelligible. The *Padyāvalī*, which is said to have been compiled by Rūpa Gosvāmin, certainly belongs to a date earlier than 1541 A.D., when it is quoted in Rūpa's *Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu*.
