It is impossible to date this material. The Śataka is attributed to Gorakhnāth and the traditions and literary references all persist in connecting his name with this body of literature. The only datable reference, which is not modern, is that which assigns the Gorakṣa Śataka Ṭīka to Śaṅkara. The text of the Śataka with the commentary of Lakṣmi Nārāyaṇa is dated guṇa-abdhi-aṅka-mahī, which may be rendered Samvat 1143 or 1943 and in our calendar 1086 or A.D. 1886. The author states that he wrote the commentary while living in Benares.
