AUTHORSHIP AND ANTIQUITY OF THE AD Nandike艣vara, the author of the AD, is known through legends only. He is known as the follower of Na峁璦r膩ja, 艢iva. He appears in the legends as the authentic teacher of t膩岣穉, rasa, Yoga, Tantra, K膩maj膩stra, Purvamimamsa, Lingayatasaivadarsana etc. The three works on tala viz. T膩岣穉lak峁�a峁嘺, T膩l膩dilak峁�a峁嘺 and T膩l膩bhinayalak峁�a峁嘺 are said to be written by Nandike艣vara. Rajasekhara in his K膩vyamim膩msa considers him as the ras膩c膩rya. A text on Y艒ga, Y艒gat膩r膩vali, is also attributed to him. Nandike艣varatilakam is said as one among his works. Some opine that the Nandi mentioned in Pa帽casayaka and Ratirahasya is none but Nandikesvara himself. The other works attributed to Nandike艣vara are T膩l膩dhy膩ya, Bharat膩r峁嘺va and Naty膩r峁嘺va. As Nandikesvara is a deity famous in south India, it is assumed by Dr. Ghosh that the author must be a South Indian. Like other Sanskrit works the date of the AD is also under controversy. In the SR S盲r峁単adeva quotes the first twenty four slokas of the AD as such. The SR was written around 1247 B.C.. Dr.Ghosh says that 艢膩r峁単adeva quotes Nandikesvara, the author of the AD. To substantiate this he puts forward the following arguements:- 1. 艢arngadeva mentions Nandikesvara as the 'Sangit膩c膩rya'. From this it could be assumed that Sarngadeva has got acquaintance with Nandike艣vara's works such as the AD, Talabhinayalak峁�a峁嘺, Talalak峁�a峁嘺 and Bharat膩r峁嘺va. 90
