Vīramitrodaya
The author of the Vīramitrodaya, son of Paraśurāma Miśra, commissioned by King Vīrasiṃha to compose the text, including its Samayaprakāśa/Kālaprakāśa section on time.
Thus, herein, the time has been determined with particularity by the scholar Mitra Miśra, after having examined all the *smṛtis*.
Having taken to heart the entire meaning declared by the sages Hārīta, Gobhila, Parāśara, Nārada, and others, the jewel among scholars, Mitra Miśra, at the behest of the glorious King Vīrasiṃha, composes the *Samayaprakāśa* (The Illumination of Time).
From that Paraśurāma Miśra—a repository of brilliant fame, a repository of flawless knowledge, a repository of beautiful poetry, a repository of *smṛti* (sacred tradition), and a repository of the splendor of *śruti* (revealed scripture)—was born in this world, through the merit of his good deeds, Mitra Miśra, whose dignity was no less than his father's.
