The book was first published in 1936, however nearly all the poems of the book were published in different magazines by 1930.<ref name="Seely1990">{{cite book|author=Clinton B.

Many of the post-[[Rabindranath Tagore|Tagore]] literary personalities started their literary career with these poetry journals. Several poems of Jibanananda's ''Dhusar Pandulipi'' were first published in Bosu's ''Kavita'' magazine. Later Bosu established ''Kavita Bhavan'', a publication and a hang-out for Bengali literary personalities. The first book published by ''Kavita Bhavan'' was Jibanananda's ''Dhusar Pandulipi''. Das also dedicated this work to Buddhadeb Bosu.<ref name="ABP Dhusar Pandulipi">{{cite news |title=ধূসর পাণ্ডুলিপি - Anandabazar |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/supplementary/patrika/ধ-সর-প-ণ-ড-ল-প-1.255141 |accessdate=18 March 2020 |work=Anandabazar Patrika |language=bn}}</ref>

Das wrote a poem called "[[Campe (poem)|Campe]]" which was first published in ''Parichay'' magazine in 1932. Literary critic [[Sajanikanta Das]] accused Jibanananda of obscenity for this poem. However Jibanananda did not pay attention to the criticism and included the poem in the book ''Dhusar Pandulipi''.<ref name="ABP Bimurha" />
