²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹â€”There are many Ä€³¦Äå°ù²â²¹²õ and writers named ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹. But ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹ is certainly the author of 'RogaviniÅ›caya' or '²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹ NidÄna'. ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹'s full name is ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹. He was the son of Indukara. According to Ä€³¦Äå°ù²â²¹ Priyabrata Sharma, he wrote a book called '²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹cikitsita'. The author of the book '²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹ Cikitsita' was ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹, the son of Candrakara, not Indukara. Therefore, according to him, ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹ is the author of two books. But the period of ²ÑÄå»å³ó²¹±¹²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹'s advent was in the seventh century.[1]
