We have seen above that Āgastya is mentioned, together with Maya, as one of the authorities on which Viśvakarma's treatise is based. Āgastya was, therefore, presumably known to Viśvakarman. Owing to the incomplete nature of Āgastya's extant works the connexion of Āgastya with *Mayamata* and with the *Mānasāra* is not clear at present. It is true, however, that several chapters of *Āgastya* are strikingly similar to, if not taken from, the corresponding chapters of the *Mānasāra*.
