Younger than him was Damodara. He was very learned in all sciences and arts. He was the best of the skilled. For the good of the learned he made a matchless commentary. It was equal to the work of Pitamaha told by Bhaskara.
Simple meaning: The author's father: Damodara, learned in all sciences, wrote a matchless commentary.
दामोदरस्य तनयौ जातौ बलभद्रबलिरामौ ॥
The author: Balabhadra, son of Damodara, explains the Tajika by his teacher's grace.
निबन्धारचिताः पूर्वैः संहितास्ताजिकादिषु ॥
Why this book: there was no digest on the year's results, so Balabhadra makes one.
हिल्लाजखत्तखुत्तार्यखिन्धिरोमकसम्मतम् ॥
Sources: Balabhadra follows Samarasimha, as agreed by Hillaja, Khattakhutta, Khindhi and Romaka.
