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. - [Previous: v2.c16.184](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.184) - [Next: v2.c16.186](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.186) - [Up: v2.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16) ## Cites (4) - [Matsyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Bṛhatsaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.rsi.brhatsamhita) — Varāhamihira, Sanskrit - [Līlāvaī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.kavya.prakrit.lilavai) — Kouhala, Māhārāṣṭrī Prakrit - [Siddhāntaśiromaṇi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.siddhantasiromani) — Bhāskara II, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.185](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.185) · Pramāṇa
