Title Kirātacandrikā (commentary on Kirātārjunīya)

Remarks/ Text Features The MS, though being complete, lacks a scribe's colophon. The text-colophon, which reports the family tree of the author as well as the year (ca. AD 1653) and place (Śivāgrāma(!) in Gauḍabhūmi) of the composition, is, nonetheless, extant. Whether this MS can be regarded for an autograph or whether the scribe's colophon was dropped due to some other reason remains unclear.

Author Pītāmbara (the author, a servant of a Bengal king, mentions the male part of his genealogical tree up to the 5th degree of relationship - see 'Colophon' in the 'Excerpts' below)
