VARĀHA MIHIRA :—Beruṇī has given Śaka 427 as his date. Beruṇī had translated his works Bṛhatsaṃhitā and Laghujātaka into Arabic. The commentary on the Bṛhajjātaka by Balabhadra has been referred to by Beruṇī. Sudhākara writes that Varāha’s works Yoga Yatra’ and Vivāhapaṭal are available at Vārānasī. According to Utpala, there was a work entitled “Samāsa Saṃhitā” by Varāha. It may have been an abridged version of Bṛhatsaṃhitā.
