If their native places are open to question so are their dates. Bühler placed Āpastamba around the fifth century B.C. but did not himself consider this date as conclusive or anything more than tentative. He was only definite that both Baudhāyana and Āpastamba had lived before the third century B.C. Between these two *sūtrakāras*, all scholars agree, Baudhāyana is anterior to Āpastamba.
