Other authorities on omens whom Bhaṭṭotpala was able to quote in 967 include Nandin,⁵⁴ Bhānubhaṭṭa,⁵⁵ and Śālihotra, as well as the authority, Samudra, after whom the science of physiognomy was later named \*sāmudrika\* (on BS 67 and 69). - [Previous: c6.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c6.66) - [Next: c6.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c6.68) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c6) ## Linked texts (1) - [Bṛhatsaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.rsi.brhatsamhita.11.5) — Varāhamihira, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c6.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c6.67) · Pramāṇa
