¹ It is now certain that Daṇḍin was considered as an authority already in the 8th century A. D. Jacobi (ZDMG 64, 1910, 138 f.) thinks that he could not have lived before the 7th century A.D., since he stands on a more advanced position, than Bhaṭṭi does. Cf. G.A. Jacob, JRAS 1897, 284; L.D. Barnett, JRAS 1905, 841 f.; Bernheimer, ZDMG 63, 1909, 709. ff.; P.V. Kane, Ind. Ant. 1912, 128; Gray, Vāsavadattā, p. 11. f. There exists a Tibetan translation of Daṇḍin's “Kāvyādarśa in the Tanjūr (G. Huth, SBA 1895, 268; ZDMG 49, 283 f.). [A manuscript of this work has recently been acquired for the Sanskrit University Museun, Vārāṇasī.]
