It is difficult to find out the number of 厂尘峁泃颈蝉 that originally existed, as no work like the Anukrama峁噄kas or Sarv膩nukramas of the 峁欢惫别诲补 are available on the 厂尘峁泃颈蝉. References provided by earlier works show a discrepancy regarding the number of the 厂尘峁泃颈蝉. The number of the 顿丑补谤尘补蝉奴迟谤补蝉 appears to be less than that of the 顿丑补谤尘补艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉. The 骋补耻迟补尘补诲丑补谤尘补蝉奴迟谤补 refers to no 蝉尘峁泃颈办腻谤补, other than Manu.^[1] Names of seven authors on dharma are mentioned by the 叠补耻诲丑腻测补苍补诲丑补谤尘补蝉奴迟谤补, except 叠补耻诲丑腻测补苍补 himself, viz. Aupaja峁単hani, 碍腻迟测补, 碍腻艣测补辫补, Gautama, 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈, Maudgalya and 贬腻谤墨迟补.

痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补 enumerates five authors:

1. Gautama,
2. 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈,
3. Manu,
4. Yama and
5. 贬腻谤墨迟补.

膧辫补蝉迟补尘产补 mentions ten writers of which Eka, 碍耻峁噄办补, etc., are known by name only. Apart from himself, Manu states Atri, the son of Utathya, 叠丑峁沢耻, 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补, 痴补颈办丑腻苍补蝉补 and 艢补耻苍补办补. These works do not contain a regular list of writers in one place.

It is perhaps 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, among the earlier writers, to give the names of twenty writers on dharma together. They are:

1. Manu,
2. Atri,
3. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻,
4. 贬腻谤墨迟补,
5. 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补,
6. 鲍艣补苍补蝉,
7. 础峁単颈谤腻,
8. Yama,
9. 膧辫补蝉迟补尘产补,
10. 厂补峁僾补谤迟迟补,
11. 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补,
12. 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈,
13. 笔补谤腻艣补谤补,
14. 痴测腻蝉补,
15. 艢补峁卥丑补,
16. Likhita,
17. 顿补办峁�a,
18. Gautama,
19. 艢腻迟腻迟补辫补 and Vasi峁�tha.^[2]

The 惭颈迟腻办峁�a谤腻 adds that this list of 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 is not an exhaustive enumeration but merely illustrative, so the names of 叠补耻诲丑腻测补苍补 and like others are also to be understood as the writers of 顿丑补谤尘补艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉.^[3] Vi艣varupa in this context quotes a verse of 痴峁沝诲丑补 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 enumerating ten more names.^[4] The list prepared in the 笔补谤腻艣补谤补sm峁泃i consists of nineteen writers, which include 碍腻艣测补辫补, 骋腻谤驳测补, Pracetas instead of 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈, Yama, 痴测腻蝉补, referred to in the list of 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补.^[5] The 痴墨谤补尘颈迟谤辞诲补测补 citing the view of 艢补峁僰丑补 and Likhita states that the 厂尘峁泃颈 means the 顿丑补谤尘补艣腻蝉迟谤补. It further mentions the names of eighteen promulgators of the 顿丑补谤尘补艣腻蝉迟谤补, the names of eighteen authors on the 鲍辫补蝉尘峁泃颈 and twenty-one other 厂尘峁泃颈k膩ras.^[6] If all the 厂尘峁泃颈蝉, quoted in the later Nibandhas, 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉, etc., are taken into account then the number of the 厂尘峁泃颈蝉 will exceed one hundred. However, the texts of most of these 厂尘峁泃颈蝉 have not yet been found. It is rightly observed by V.N. Mandlik that the number of 厂尘峁泃颈蝉 might have been great and that many have been lost, that some exists as fragments, and that others are only known from quotation in other 厂尘峁泃颈蝉 or digests of more modern writers.^[7] Of all the 厂尘峁泃颈蝉, the 惭补苍耻蝉尘峁泃颈, the 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补sm峁泃i and the 狈腻谤补诲补蝉尘峁泃颈 enjoy the highest authority.
