The Dhanvantariyanighaṇṭu does not mention its author. As referred to before, a verse at the end of the suvarṇādivarga of the Gaṇadravyāvali states that it emanated from the mouth of Dhanvantari. It is probably for this reason that the treatise became known as Dhanvantariyanighaṇṭu, and that the verses from it are quoted as spoken by Dhanvantari. Some MSS ascribe the work to Mahendrabhogika, resident of Sthāṇvīśvara330 and son of Kṛṣṇabhogika.331
