and Nagnajit have also been mentioned in the *Bṛihat-saṁhitā*. Varāhamihira, the author of the *Bṛihat-saṁhitā*, has included Bhāskara and Manu, who are not met with in the *Matsya-purāṇa*. The identity of these mythical sages is a vexatious matter in Sanskrit literature. One Bhāskara or Bhāskarāchārya was the author of the Līlāvatī and the Siddhānta-śiromaṇi. Of Manu, we shall presently speak more. But the *Matsya-purāṇa* does not include these names in its lists, nor does it mention Varāhamihira.
