²²⁸⁹ Most scholars accept 2nd century B C as the date of the Mahābhāṣya. Dr D C. Sircar in I H. Q. vol. 15 (pp 633-638) tries to show that the Mahābhāṣya cannot be placed earlier than the 2nd century A. D His arguments cannot be discussed here The present author does not agree with Dr. Sircar and holds that the arguments for placing the Mahābhāṣya in the 2nd century B. C are far more weighty than those put forward by Dr Sırcar.
