v1.c20.s2.2

Another work, ascribed to Agniveśa, the *Añjananidāna*, is actually a treatise by an unknown author, belonging to the eleventh or twelfth century at the earliest. 142 A *Nidānasthāna* by Agniveśa is recorded in only one MS catalogue; 143 G. Mukhopadhyaya 144 asserts that it is also called *Netrāñjana*, which would imply that it is identical with the *Añjananidāna*. One of the BORI MSS of the *Añjananidāna* 145 ends with a colophon stating that the *Añjana* from Agniveśa’s *Nidānasthāna* is completed, which confirms that the so-called *Nidānasthāna* of Agniveśa cannot be but the *Añjananidāna*. The same applies to the MS of an *Agniveśanidāna*, with commentary. 146 Some scholars claim that Agniveśa wrote a *Nāḍīparīkṣā*. 147 The ascription of a commentary on the *Carakasaṃhitā* to Agniveśa is undoubtedly wrong. 148
