These data, if reliable, lead to the conclusion that Śārṅgadhara cannot have lived earlier than about 1300, which conflicts with P.V. Sharma's ¹¹³³ and Atrideva's ¹¹³⁴ claims that he is quoted by Hemādri. ¹¹³⁵ The latter's so-called quotation from Śārṅgadhara can, however, be disregarded as a clue to his date, because no source is mentioned by Hemādri and, moreover, only the first of the two verses quoted is found in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā.
