reading Mundire as being convenient for his
the place with Mo岣峢er, where a temple of the Sun was constructed
in the 11th cen. A. D. He thus tried to show that the Var膩ha -
purana, which mentions this temple of the Sun, was composed
several centuries after Bhavabh奴ti and therefore its evidence on
the present question is of no avail. But as we have shown above,
Mun岣嵞玶a, which was situated in eastern India, cannot be identified
with Mo岣峢er in Gujar膩t. So this argument has no bearing on
the date of the Varahapur膩峁嘺.
Dr. Kane has next attempted to show that the Varaha-
pur膩峁嘺, which mentions the Sun-temple at K膩lapriya is later than
the Bhavisyapura峁嘺. For this purpose he has cited the following
passage from the Varahapura峁嘺.15

the Bhavisyapura峁嘺, how does it follow that it (or at least the
relevant passage in it) is later than the age of Bhavabh奴ti?
Dr. Kane has himself remarked that it is difficult to determine the
age of puranic passages. The Bhavisya is believed to be an ancient
pur膩峁嘺, though there might be interpolated passages in it as in
other Pur膩峁嘺s. The Varahapura峁嘺, though later than the Bhavisya,
