A.F.R. Hoernle’s date of Aruṇadatta, about A.D. 1220, uncritically adopted in many later books and articles, 100 but reached on faulty grounds, 101 can be dismissed. Hoernle supposed that the author of the second part of the *Madhukośa* 102 controverts a certain doctrine of Aruṇadatta concerning the structure of the eye, but the latter’s name is not mentioned, 103 which makes the assertion baseless and without any consequence for Aruṇa’s date.
