It is probable that most of the rules and examples had been originally composed in Sanskrit, while one of the sections was written entirely in a dialect.

For some portions a carbon-date was proposed of AD 224ā€“383 while for other portions a carbon-date as late as AD 885ā€“993 in a recent study, but the dating has been criticised by specialists on methodological grounds (Plofker et al. 2017 and Houben 2018 Ā§3).
