It is also said that he was a minister of King Rāma Varmā who ruled in Kerala from 1108-32. He wrote on Jyotiṣa, Āyurveda and Tantra. His works on Jyotiṣa included \*Kerala-saṃhitā\*, \*Kerala-nāḍigrantha\*, \*Keralīyapraśnamārga\* and \*Keralapraśnasāra\*. However, as observed earlier, these works must, obviously, be non-Keralite treatises based on Keralite teachings attributed to Keralācārya.¹ - [Previous: c10.s5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.9) - [Next: c10.s5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.11) - [Up: c10.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c10.s5.10) · Pramāṇa
