v4.c59.518

4 NCC I, 162 and XII, 246: by Ananta, son of Keśavācārya; written in 1886. Check-list Nr. 573: written in saṃvat 1829. STMI 23: dating from A.D. 1886. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 136: by Ananta, son of Keśavācārya; written in saṃvat 1829 = A.D. 1886 (sic! saṃvat 1829 = A.D. 1772/73). C.G. Kashikar (1977): 153: written in A.D. 1792. The confusion regarding the year of completion is due to the error in CBORI (saṃvat 1829 = A.D. 1886), and to wrong dating of the MS; at the end of the MS the year of completion is said to be vikrama nava-yuga-aṣṭa-indu, i.e., 1849 = A.D. 1792/93. The correct year of composition is found in M.M. Patkar (1938): 86–87. The treatise begins with an eulogy of Pratāpasimha and his ancestors.
