In my opinion, it is very unlikely that Indu studied with Vāgbhaṭa himself,³⁴⁹ because Indu observes, in the introduction to both versions of the *Śaśilekhā*, that Vāgbhaṭa’s words had become obscured by bad commentaries, which led him to write a new one. At least one generation of commentators must therefore have preceded Indu. One should also remember that Indu cites Jejjaṭa, which excludes his being a contemporary.
