c12.s13.t3.4

The mention in these *Br̥hatkathā* legends of an Indradatta in a group of which the two others, Vyāḍi and Vararuchi, are grammarians may lead us to surmise that he too might have been a grammarian, not necessarily a contemporary, and though there is no evidence, it may be suggested that the Aindra grammar mentioned in the traditional accounts as having been superseded by the Pāṇinian and as being the basis of the Tamil system of the Tolkāppiyam and of the Sanskrit *Kālāpa*, may in reality be a work of this Indradatta.
