c10.3

The earliest of such authors is a Buddhist Mahāsthavira from Śrīlaṅkā, Anavamadarśin Saṅgharāja¹ of the Hastavanagalya Mahāvihāra, who wrote his Daivajñakāmadhenu² during the reign of Parākramabāhu II (1236–1271), apparently in 1241. This deals with omens, *jātaka*, *muhūrta*, and *praśna*. Anavamadarśin's sources include Varāhamihira and Bhojarāja.
