v1.c23.s1.2
A Suśruta who was the son of Subhāṣa is mentioned as one of the kings of Mithilā in the Viṣṇupurāṇa.¹ A quite unrelated Suśruta figures, together with his son Viśruta, in Daṇḍin’s Daśakumāracarita, which is a work of fiction.² More interesting is a Suśruta of the Mahābhārata,³ who is, like the Suśruta of the Suśrutasaṃhitā, described as one of the sons of Viśvāmitra.
