During his times, he is said to have received the titles of Mahamahopadhyaya and Vyakhyana Chakravarti. He lived during the reigns of [[Rachakonda]] king Singabhupala and [[Vijayanagara]] king [[Deva Raya I]]. Based on the evidence from the inscriptions, it is estimated that he lived between 1350-1450 CE.<br /> <br /> ==Early life==<br /> Mallinātha's surname was Kolachala, Kolachela, Kolichala or Kolichelama.&lt;ref&gt;Mallinātha<br /> By P. G. Lalye, p. 13&lt;/ref&gt; The village Kolichelama (currently known as Kolchāram) is near Medak, a village and mandal in the Medak District of [[Telangana]]. When Kākatīya rule ended, the scholars of Kolachelama family migrated to Rāchakonḍa, the capital of Singabhūpāla. From the colophons of Sanjīvani, it is known that Singabhūpāla honoured Mallinātha with the title of Mahāmahopādhyāya, and Mallinātha's son with the title of Mahopādhyāya.<br /> <br /> ==Works==<br /> Mallinātha is well known as a commentator who has written glosses on Classical epics of Sanskrit, besides his commentaries on Śātric works. His Sanjivani commentary on Meghasandesa is the most popular one.&lt;ref&gt;Meghasandeśa: an assessment from the South, p. 24&lt;/ref&gt; He is also known as a poet, the fact which is rather unknown, though the names of his creative compositions are known to the scholars of Sanskrit literature.<br /> <br /> ===Commentaries===<br /> The following is the list of his commentaries on Classical Epics of Sanskrit-<br /> # SaMjīvanī - Commentary on Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta<br /> # Ghaṇṭāpatha - Commentary on Bharavi's Kiratarjuniya<br /> # Sarvaṅkaṣa - Commentary on Magha's Sisupalavadha<br /> # Jivātu - Commentary on Sriharsa's Naisadhiyacarita<br /> # Sarvapathīnā - Commentary on [[Bhaṭṭikāvya]]<br /> The following is the list of his commentaries on Śāstric works-<br /> # Tarala - commentary on Vidyadhara's Ekavali - alamkara Sastra<br /> # Niskaṇṭakā - commentary on Varadaraja's Tarkikaraksa tika<br /> <br /> ===Creative works===<br /> # Raghuvīracaritā<br /> # Vaiśyavamśa Sudhākara<br /> # Udara Kavya<br /> Interestingly, in Marathi Language, there is a word 'Mallinathi', which means 'a comment or criticism' done by somebody.
