984 R. Bhaṭṇāgar (JAI 72–87) made the improbable claim that the Nāgārjuna who wrote the Yogaratnamālā was a Jain ācārya who lived in the third century and was a pupil of Pādalitasūri. See on the identity and date of the author of the Yogaratnamālā also D.G. White (1996: 114, 131, 165–166), who places the work in the twelfth to thirteenth century; D.G. White speculates that the Nāgārjuna who wrote it may have come from Gujarāt to Śrīśaila, where he became the guru of the Nāgārjuna to whom we owe the Rasendramaṅgala.
