v1.c17.14

What is said here about Rudraṭa does not apply to Rudra or Rudrabhaṭṭa, although Pischel³, Weber⁴, Aufrecht⁵ and Bühler⁶ take the two authors to be identical. This identity is declared doubtful by Peterson⁷ and is not admitted by Durgāprasāda⁸ and Trivedi¹. Finally, Jacobi has set at rest this controversy by showing elaborately, from an examination of their respective texts, that these two writers were in all probability different persons².
