about A.D. 1400. Nityanātha’s work was well known in the sixteenth century, as appears from references to and quotations from it in Ānandabhāratī’s Ānandamālā, Bhāmīśra’s Bhāvaprakāśa, Ṭoḍara’s Āyurvedasaukhya, and Miyān Bhūwah’s Ma‘din al-Shifā’. Nityanātha’s date can be pushed back further because he was known to Gopālakṛṣṇa, the author of the Rasendrasārasaṃgraha (last quarter fifteenth century) and to the author(s) of the Lakṣmaṇotsava (A.D. 1449/50).
