² Gustav Oppert's Edition, Madras, 1882, Preface, p. viii. Rajendra Lal Mitra declared that Śukranīti could not be earlier than the 16th century A.D. Recently, K. P. Jayaswal has placed it in the 8th century A.D. See also Benoy Kumar Sarkar on the date and locale of Śukranīti in the Positive Back-ground of Hindu Sociology, Book II, Part I, pp. 63–71. Śukra, like Kâmandaka, is often quoted by latter-day Sanskrit commentators.
