Its epoch is 11 March 1590, which is stated to be thirty-five years after the era of Akbar; the epoch of Akbar’s “Divine Era,” which was introduced on Nawrūz of 1584, was indeed 11 March 1556. A commentary, Rāmavinodadīpikā, was written by Viśvanātha at Kāmpilya shortly after 1602. There is also a koṣṭhaka written by Rāma and bearing the same name as the RV. - [Previous: c4.s3.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.59) - [Next: c4.s3.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.61) - [Up: c4.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3) ## Linked texts (1) - [Rāmavinoda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.sangraha.ramavinoda) — Rāmacandra Paṇḍita, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.s3.60) · Pramāṇa
