D.; B. L. rice (J. R. A. S., 1890, p. 245. ), however, is inclined to place him about the middle of the 5th century A. D. See also Belwalkar, Systems of Grammar, pp. 62-68. For a description of the work, see Kielhorn, Ind. Anti., vol. X. p. 75. Somadeo in 1205 A.D. wrote a commentary called S’abdarnavacandrika on the work. The work is published with the commentary of Abhayanandi in Pandit, new series, vols. 31-34. The probable date of Abhayanandi is 750 A. D. according to Dr. Belwalkar.
