v1.c6.s74.15

As Śrīdatta names the Kalpataru, Harihara and Halāyudha's work on Śrāddha he must have flourished later than 1200 A. D. As Caṇḍeśvara mention his Samayapradīpa, Śrīdatta must have flourished before the first quarter of the 14th century. If Gaṇeśamiśra mentioned in the Ācārādarśa be the same as Gaṇeśvaramiśra, the author of Sugatisopāna and uncle of Caṇḍeśvara (which appears extremely probable), then Śrīdatta flourished a short time before Caṇḍeśvara and must have composed his works between 1275 and 1310 A. D.
