The works of 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 do not provide any information regarding the life or other activites of 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍; this has given room for much ambiguity about his native place. Scholars have different opinions about his native place and have, with some evidences suggested 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 to have belonged to various parts of India. All these varied views are presented here:

(a) Prof. Borooah^[1] in his edition of 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 with 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 's commentary opines that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 belonged to south India, either Maharashtra or Karnataka. This is inferred by him on the basis that鈥�(i) 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 refers to 笔谤腻肠测补 鲍诲墨肠测补, 碍腻艣尘墨谤补, 顿谤补惫颈岣峚, and 笔谤补迟墨肠测补 rather contemptuously in some places; he never refers to them with respect. So, he could not have belonged to any of these places. (ii) 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 quotes 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补, a Maharashtra poet who was just gaining popularity. (iii) Also the use of 顿别艣颈 words by 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 was similar to those used by 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补. (iv) According to Nandargikar, a collaborator of Borooah, some of the pr膩k峁泃 words like gaccha meaning tree, barbara meaning west, vardala meaning bad weather are found in northern dialects; the rest, Borooah opines might be found in southern dialects.

(b) 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 G. Oka is of the opinion that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 was a native of central India. This view is based on鈥�(i) the use of words like 笔谤腻肠测补, 鲍诲墨肠测补, 笔谤补迟墨肠测补 etc. by 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 and his attachment to 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补 and Bhoja; (ii) the 顿别艣颈 words mentioned by 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 are found only in Hindi and other Northern dialects; (iii) 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍's name seems to be after the god K峁Ｄ玶e艣vara 惭补丑腻诲别惫补 at K膩kup膩da near Kanauj and (iv) in his commentary on the Pura varga 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 describes the well-known towns of central India. All these, according to Oka suggest strongly that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 was a native of central India rather than south India.

(c) Dr. Hardutt Sharma and Dr. N. G. Sardesai opine that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 belonged to Kashmir inferring from鈥�(i) the title of his name 叠丑补峁�峁�补 and the benedictory verse addressed to 艢颈惫补 and (ii) the supporting evidence found in the work Kavikalpadruma which states that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 was the son of 莫艣varasv膩min and a contemporary of King 闯补测腻辫墨岣峚 (1128 -1138 A.D.)

(d) Prof. Mm. 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补 M墨m膩峁僺ak presents the following evidences for his conclusion that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 belonged to Kashmir鈥�(i) the invocatory verse addressed to 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨鈥�艣膩rad膩yai namo 苍颈迟测补峁�...; (ii) the colophon at the end of 碍峁Ｄ玶补迟补谤补峁単颈峁嚹� 谤别补诲颈苍驳鈥�k膩艣m墨ra ma峁囜笉alabhuva峁� jayasi峁僪an膩mni; and (iii) also that the recitors of 碍补峁环补艣腻办丑腻 Yajuvedis were more common in Kashmir than in any other part of India.

(e) Curiously the Descriptive Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts^[2] Vol. IX (pp. 3810-3811) records a new information under one entry (No. 4934) 狈腻尘补濒颈峁単腻苍耻艣腻蝉补苍补惫测腻办丑测腻. It says: " 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍's commentary on the 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 is the earliest of the commentaries available at present. The author, it is said, was a native of Uttaramerur in the Chengalpet District. He belonged to the 11th Century A.D." 碍别艣补惫补 艣补谤尘补, makes note of this information in his discussion on 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍, his time and place^[3].

Analysing all the above factors and by the study of the commentary 础尘补谤补办辞艣辞诲驳丑腻峁璦苍补, it can be concluded that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 was a native of central India. As already stated by Oka, 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 is familiar with the cities in central India. Also while illustrating the word 迟墨谤迟丑补鈥揳 holy river, 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 mentions 笔谤补产丑腻蝉补 and 笔耻峁�k补谤补 both in present Gujarat reassuring the fact that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 belonged to Central India.

Another observation from the study of 础尘补谤补办辞艣辞诲驳丑腻峁璦苍补 worth mention here is the reading of the word cikura in 碍耻尘腻谤补蝉补尘产丑补惫补, cited by 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 Though this reading of the text is found only in the commentary of Vallabhadeva, who was a Kashmirian, it does not press one to take 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 as belonging to Kashmir; but it can be assumed that 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 being in central India was familiar with the northern recension of the text of 碍腻濒颈诲腻蝉补.
