[INDOLOGY] Date and place of a manuscript

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,
