v3.c50.s7.13

The author does not mention his name, but refers to himself as the son of Siṃhagupta (1.8).²⁰⁰ The Rasaratnasamuccaya is generally attributed to an author called Vāgbhaṭa.²⁰¹ The question whether or not this Vāgbhaṭa is identical with the author(s) of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā and Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha, discussed by many scholars,²⁰² is no longer relevant, since it has been clearly established that the Rasaratnasamuccaya is much later than the two āyurvedic treatises.
