¹ Cf. Quackenbos, ibid 98 ff. The Sāmbapañcāśikā (in Km. 13, 1889), ascribed to a poet Sāmba, is a poem devoted to the sun-cult and is of unknown antiquity. The name of the son of Lord Kṛṣṇa too was Sāmba, who is mentioned in the purāṇas in relation to the sun-cult. There is also one Sāmba-upapurāṇa. It is questionable whether Sāmba is actually the name of a poet.
