In the previous chapter, the references to Kohala in published works were examined subject-wise. In this chapter, the evidences found are being analysed and an attempt is made to arrive at a picture of Kohala that can be gathered from these. Each of the 濒补办峁峁嘺驳谤补苍迟丑补蝉 that has referred to Kohala is taken up for study separately to get a macro understanding of what/ which Kohala each of these authors is speaking of. As seen in the previous chapter, several post-狈腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补 authors have quoted verses from his works, given his interpretations on subjects or simply mentioned his name as one of the authorities on 苍腻峁瓂补. Among the 濒补办峁峁嘺驳谤补苍迟丑补蝉 where direct quotations or references to Kohala are found, the important ones have been selected to form a part of this study. It is to be noted that, only works with refer to Kohala on aspects of a technical nature have been used here.

The following are the works that have been used in this study.
