>> Dear Friends,
>>
>> I recently received a copy of a manuscript from Kota, entitled
>> *rekhāgaṇitalaghubodha, *of which I attach the last folio, with the
>> colophon.
>> The date śake 1693 is given, which corresponds to 1771 AD, compatible
>> with the date of the Jaipur's  *rekhāgaṇita*, with which this manuscript
>> offers some similarities.
>> My question concerns the word preceding the date, that is rāmā(or śarmā
>> ?)kabhūpāla. Does it indicate a king of that period and/or does this
>> word alter the date ? A place is also mentioned : dillīnagare tu
>> korāvakaṭake. Is korāva(or ba) a place near Delhi ?
>> Finally, does anyone know something about the author miśramohanalāla,
>> son of miśrahīrādhara ? And about malikhadvāla ?
>> I don't find anything in Pingree's *CESS*, except a mohanalāla, who
>> lived after 1850 (*CESS*, vol.5, p.317), which is a century too late.
>>
>> Best regards and thanks for your help,
