⁵⁵ The text has not been published. It is available in the form of manuscript (Mss. Collection No. 195) in the Vallabha Vaisnava Matha Library, Nathdwar, Rajasthan. Raychaudhuri pp. 6-9, 24-33, 55-58, 88-94 gives transatation of long passages from Chapters 1,2,6-8. The text, which claims to have been composed by Cakrapāni, a devotee of Rāma and belonging to a Brāhmana family of Mathurā, as desired by the king, is evidently a late work, though it draws upon earlier texts. On its own admission, it borrows from Hemādri and Sārngadharapaddhati and hence could not have been earlier then the fifteenth century.
