Text Features The text is the oldest commentary on the Naiṣadīyacarita, being written in ŚS 1164 (1242 A.D.) when King Rāmasiṃha was reigning in Mithilā. The text is ascribed to Harīśvara, a minister of Rāmasiṃha in many of the sub-colophons but the author cleverly gives his name in the colophon of the eleventh chapter and also hints this in the epilogue verses.
