477 NCC VI, 142: the same author wrote the *Karaṭikautuka*, a work on elephants and their diseases, and a commentary, called *Śabdāmṛta*, on Kālidāsa’s *Kumārasambhava*. The latter work is referred to in Rāmacandra’s *Prakriyākaumudī* (CC I, 847 and 512; II, 77 and 210; III, 74), a grammatical work dating from the fourteenth or fifteenth century (H. Scharfe, 1977: 174), which establishes Gopāladāsa Kāyastha’s terminus ad quem.
