³ We learn from Bāṇa's Harṣacarita too that Harṣa's father and his predecessors were sun-worshippers; hence it is very probable that Mayūra was an older contemporary of Bāṇa. Cf Bühler, Die indischen Inschriften, usw. p 14 ff; Peterson, Subh. p. 86; Zachariae, Bezz. Beitr. 13, 1888, p. 100. The Sūryaśataka has been quoted by Ānandavardhana. One Khaṇḍapraśasti of Mayūra is cited by Ruyyaka. But one Khaṇḍapraśasti (a poem on Viṣṇu's incarnations), edited in the Pandit V, VI, is attributed to the monkey Hanūmat.
