Govindaswami and Haridatta (Saka 606) [23 CE].—Sankaranarayana clearly indicates that Govindaswami was senior to Haridatta. Haridatta also followed Sakabda correction from Saka 444 (139 BCE). Malayalam work Drikarana of 17th century indicates that Haridatta wrote his Grahacharanibandhana in Saka 606 (23 CE). Thus, Haridatta probably lived in the beginning of the 1st century CE. Therefore, we can roughly conclude that Govindaswami, who wrote a commentary on Mahabhaskariya, lived around 70-0 BCE and probably, he was the pupil of Bhaskara I whereas Haridatta lived around 10 BCE – 60 CE.
