भोजनकुतूहल: प्रथम भाग (रघुनाथ नवहस्त - आहार-रसायन, पाकशाला-व्यवस्था व विरुद्धाहार)

• A manuscript of Prayogaratnabhūṣa dated Śaka 1600
(1678 A. D.) is stated to be available in the Oriental Insti-
tute, Baroda. • Prof. Gode speaks of a manuscript of
Bhojanakutūhala produced about 1682.* This gives some
clue to fix his period. Ekoji, the husband of his patroness
Dīpa Bai reigned between 1676 and 1683. The Dharmā-
mṛtamahodadhi contains a chronogram giving the date of
its composition to be Śaka 1623 (1701 A. D.). † The
literary activity of Raghunātha may therefore be assigned
to the period 1650 to 1725 A. D.
