He must be older than Samvat 1771 or 1714 a.p., the date 
of a MS. of his Ananda-lahari-tari, and older than his critic 
or 1694 a.p. He must be later than the Tantrik Pirnananda, 
whose Syama-rahasya is quoted in the said Tari and who wrote 
the Sakia-krama in Saka 1493 (1571 a.p.) and the Tantrik 
Tattva-cinta-mani in Saka 1499 (1577 a.D.). He is also later 
than Govardhana Misra (the Prakasa-kara quoted in his No. i), 
whose elder brother Padmanabha composed the Vira-bhadra- 
campuin 1578 a.p.'! Gaurikanta’s time thus falls roughly in 
the first quarter of the seventeenth century.

He wrote :— 
(i) The Tattva-cinta-mani-didhits-prakasika, a sub-commen- 
lary of Raghunatha’s Didhiti. It was a standard work, fami- 
liatly known as Bhavanandi. It seems to have been used more 
at Benares and other places outside Bengal, and was commented 
upon by outsiders like Krsnamittra, Dinakara and Mahadeva, 
and criticized by Vajratanka, a southerner. In fact Mahadeva 
distinetly alleges that the work had not been appreciated by the 
Pandits of Gaura.? 
(ii) The Pratyaks-Gloka-sara-manjari, a sub-commentary of 
Jayadeva’s Aloka. 
(iii) The Tattva-cinta-mani-tika, a commentary directly on 
Gaigesa’s work, : a ens
