The Vivādacandra¹ is a similar work which received its name from Candrasiṃha the grandson of the king of Mithilā just mentioned and of Lakhimādevī (Lakṣmīdevī), the spouse of this king, and this work emanates from Misarumiśra who was appointed by Lakṣmīdavī to compose it. The Ratnākara is mentioned in this work and it may be about 50 years later and was therefore probably written towards the end of the 14. century. Vācaspatimiśra², a particularly fertile author, often cited specially in works of the Bengal school, lived at the court of king Harinārāyaṇa of Mithilā; he was a great-grandson of king Harasiṃhadeva and a nephew (son ?) of Candrasiṃha and thus must be assigned to about 1400 or even in the 15. century.
