Date The author of the Triśatī was dated to the thirteenth-fourteenth century by G. Hālār, ¹²¹⁸ whereas P.V. Sharma ¹²¹⁹ and Atrideva ¹²²⁰ assign him to the fifteenth century. The prescription of drugs like ākalakṛt, jvālāmukhī, and tīvra indicates that he is not earlier, but probably later, than the author of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā, while he is anterior to Bhāvamiśra who incorporated verses from the Triśatī in his Bhāvaprakāśa. Hence he may provisionally be placed in the early fifteenth century.
