The name Gathasaptashati means 700 verses written in the gatha form. They were compiled probably between 1,800 and 1,500 years ago, though we have no specific date like we do for the texts of the Greeks and Romans which often find mention in this column.The text was compiled by an individual named Hala. Sometimes he is referred to (in other writings) as a king, but it is not known for sure who he was and when he lived, although the Deccan seems to come up often when the text is referred to.
There is reference to the river Tapi, which cuts through Surat, almost in the centre of India.
It was written in a form of Prakrit that had its origins in what is today Maharashtra. We know that because there are words in its vocabulary that are Dravidian in origin. Kalidasa also wrote in Maharashtri Prakrit.
