508 See Winternitz III, 73 (with references); S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De (1947): 332. A.B. Keith (1973: 137) dates the *Harivilāsa* to 1050; Keith (1973: 511) and Winternitz (III, 552) assign the medical author Lolimbarāja to the seventeenth century. G. Hāldār (*Vṛddhatrayī* 472) places him in the sixteenth or seventeenth century; G. Hāldār (*Vṛddhatrayī* 464) mentions an earlier Lolimbarāja, who lived in the eleventh century, who wrote a *Bheṣajakalpa* and a (non-medical) *Vaidyavilāsa*. Aufrecht's claim (CC I, 761) that the *Harivilāsa* is already quoted in Puruṣottama's *Varṇadeśanā* (first half twelfth century) has contributed to this early dating; B. Tripāṭhī (1977: 35–37) proved this assertion to be entirely unfounded.
