Confirmation that Jacome Gonsalves' Deva Veda Puranaya was inspired by Thomas Stephens' Khristapurana comes from J. Clement Vaz, Profiles of Eminent Goans, Past and Present (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 1997) 115. Given that Gonsalves' lifespan was 1676-1742, we have to assume that he was familiar with either all 3 print editions or at least with the 3rd print edition of 1654.
