Bharatiya Jyotihshastra (History of Indian Astronomy), translated by R. V. Vaidya v2.c13.s2.25

v2.c13.s2.25

An astronomer named Keśava compiled this work on ‘marriage’ which is usually the subject of a chapter in muhūrta works. This work has already been commented upon (on pages 127 and 194). The name Keśava occurs in Mādhava’s commentary on Ratnamālā written in Śaka 1185. This leads to the inference that the selfsame Keśava may have been the author of Vivāha Vṛndāvana and this lends support to the view that his date was about S. 1165. A work entitled, Keśava Vyavahāra has been mentioned in Mādhava’s commentary, which also may have been written by this Keśava.
