Sivadasa Sen was born (somewhere between 1454 - 1474 AD[1]) in the Vaidya guild to Ananta Sen in Malancika, a village in modern day Bengal. Another indication of his birthplace is from his name viz., Sen and that he was a Vaiśnava.
Tattwa-Candrika[edit]
Sivadasa Sen's commentary on Caraka Samhita is known as Tattva-Candrika and was written in 1448 CE--however, only Sutras 1-27, are available in present times. The manuscript belongs to the Bombay Royal Asiatic Society Library.
