An important piece of evidence regarding Drdhabala’s date is provided by the references to Drdhabala in Jejjata’s commentary on the Carakasamhitā. As Jejjata belongs to the seventh or eighth century, these references confirm that Drdhabala preceded Mādhava and Vrnda. This is corroborated by what is known about a commentary on Drdhabala’s text by Āsādhavarman, who preceded Jejjata.
