116 See T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta (1981): 139–140. This date is corroborated by a reference to the Yoginītantra as one of Kṛṣṇānanda's sources (1.3); the Yoginītantra is assigned to the sixteenth century (T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta, 1981: 85). P. Pal (1981: 3) comes to the conclusion that Kṛṣṇānanda's life spanned the second half of the sixteenth century. The NCC (V, 13) regards Kṛṣṇānanda as a contemporary of Caitanya (1485–1533), an opinion rejected by P. Pal (1981: 3), who considers it to be more likely that he was born around the time Caitanya died.
