Purāṇas and dharmaśāstras have played a very important part in molding society. Hemādri (13th Century A.D.) is one of the most prolific writers of the dharmaśāstra literature. His Caturvarga-cintāmani has been considered as a classic.
His other works are:
- Ayurvedarasāyana - a commentary on the Astāñgahrdaya of Vāgbhaṭa
- A commentary on the Raghuvamśa of Kālidāsa
- A commentary on Saunaka’s Pranavakalpa
He belonged to the Vatsagotra. He was the grandson of Vāsudeva and son of Kāmadeva. He was a high officer in the court of the Yādava kings Mahādeva and Rāmacandra of Devagiri.[1]
