Indian authors base their identification of the Agniveśa of the Gaṇapāṭha with the author of the Agniveśatantra on the occurrence, next to each other, of the names of Agniveśa, Parāśara and Jatūkarṇa, three names associated with the medical science;270 this argument is unconvincing because Agniveśa on the one hand, Parāśara and Jatūkarṇa on the other, do not form part of one and the same gaṇa;271 moreover, all three are names of ancient sages associated with many aspects of Indian culture and not with medicine only.
