The Sanskrit Drama in its Origin, Development, Theory & Practice c9.s2.1

c9.s2.1

The same manuscript which contains portions of the *Çariputraprakaraṇa* has also fragments of two other dramas. There is no evidence of their authorship, other than the fact that they appear in the same manuscript as the work of Açvaghoṣa, and that they display the same general appearance as the work of that writer. That they are Açvaghoṣa’s is much more probable than that they are the work of some unknown contemporary.²
