The author

v3.c51.s5.t2.1

The Rasendracintāmaṇi is ascribed to Ḍhuṇḍukanātha¹⁹⁰ and to Rāmacandra of the Guha family.¹⁹¹ The improbable view that Ḍhuṇḍukanātha is a corruption of Daṇḍakanātha, i.e., Rāma, the son of Daśaratha,¹⁹² which would make the author identical with the hero of the Rāmāyaṇa,¹⁹³ was already rejected by Girīndranāth Mukhopādhyāya.¹⁹⁴ Some scholars assume that both Ḍhuṇḍukanātha and Rāmacandra Guha wrote a treatise called Rasendracintāmaṇi.¹⁹⁵

v3.c51.s5.t2.2

Ḍhuṇḍukanātha was a pupil of Kālanātha.¹⁹⁶

v3.c51.s5.t2.3

Rāmacandra is sometimes credited with the Rasapārijāta,¹⁹⁷ a Rasapradīpa,¹⁹⁸ and a Cakradattanāmakagrantha.¹⁹⁹ G. Hāldār²⁰⁰ ascribes a Rasaratnākara to him. He is also identified with the author of the Rādhāvinodakāvya.²⁰¹
