1116 The author of the *Śārṅgadharapaddhati* was the eldest of the three sons (the two younger ones were Lakṣmīdhara and Kṛṣṇa) of Dāmodara and Bhāgīrathī; Dāmodara was the middlemost of the three sons (the others were Gopāla and Devadāsa) of Rāghavadeva, the preceptor of king Hammīra of Śākambharī, who was a Cāhubāṇa (Cauhān) by birth. See on the text of the pertinent verses of the *Paddhati*: P. Peterson’s edition of the text (The Paddhati of Sarngadhara; A Sanskrit Anthology, ed. by Peter Peterson, Vol. I, The Text, Bombay Sanskrit Series No. XXXVII, Bombay 1888, verses 2–6).
