The date of the MS reads: yugāṅkavedāṅkitalakṣmaṇābde mārgge ca jīve ca balakṣapakṣe. Тhe MS was written in 414 or 494 LS, which may correspond to 1592 or 1672 AD.<ref name="ftn1">On the Lakṣmaṇasena era see Salomon 1998 with further literature.</ref> Śāstri notes, however, that the MS was “copied in La. Saṃ. 492”.<ref name="ftn2">Śāstri 1905, Preface p. xlv.</ref> Apart from the year, the scribe seems to have indicated that the MS was completed on Thursday in the bright half of the month of Mārgaśīrṣa. However, it is not clear on which day (tithi) exactly this occurred. The date cannot be verified.
