The author, Nagnajit, quoted by Varāhamihira, must certainly be older than the middle of the sixth century A.D.: the quotation also incidentally informs us that Nagnajit was possibly a Drāvidian author on *Śilpa-śāstra*, and indicates the existence of a school of sculpture in South India then. Varāhamihira refers also to another ancient author, Vasisṭha.
