The compilation of the Laghutantraṭīkā is datable to around the end of the 10th or the beginning of the 11th century, when the Kālacakra assumed its earliest form or was still a work in progress.—Note: For the chronology of the Laghutantraṭīkā and the Vimalaprabhā, see particularly (Cicuzza 2001, p. 13; Isaacson and Sferra 2014, p. 97, footnote 18; Sferra 2015, p. 343; Isaacson and Sferra 2015 b, p. 477).
