From this, the name of his father appears to be Śrīkānta. The author has not seen the work himself. He has stated this from (the information given in) the Gaṇakatarangiṇī by Sudhākara. Sudhākara says that it was a work consisting of tables and that, Nārāyaṇa was the author of Muhūrta-mārtaṇḍa, his father's name was Ananta, and Ananta's father's name was Hari (see the account of Gaṅgādhara, Śaka 1502, given later on) and Śrīkānta, the name of the father of this Ananta, also is an epithet of Hari, and the dates of both of them appear to agree. From this, he (Ananta) seems to have been the father of the author of Muhūrta Mārtaṇḍa. But there is a commentary, Sudhārasakaraṇacaṣaka, on Ananta's ‘Sudhārasa’, by Dhuṇḍhirāja, and according to Aufrecht's catalogue, a part of this work called grahaṇodaya is in the library of the Sanskrit Pāthaśālā at vārānasi.
