Q. in the Ṛkprātiśākhya. Mu7nchen 30.

Sage Agastya figures as an interlocutor in several Purāṇas and similar works as a result of
which portions of works narrated by him become current as his works. The following is a list of some
of the texts in which he is thus found as an interlocutor:

(a) Vihagendrasaṁhitā. MD. 7510. 7520. TD. 15337 is wrong in ascribing the
Vihagendrasaṁhitā itself to Agastya. In Pāñcarātra literature, the Vihagendra and the Agastya
are two different Saṁhitās. See enumeration of the Pāñcarātra texts in the Pādmatantra. IO.
Eggeling p. 848b.

(b) Basavapurāṇa. MD. 2349.

(c) Devīpurāṇa. IO. 3362. [Page022-a]

(d) Agastya-Dilīpa-saṁvāda from the Skānda on the Māhātmya of Mylapore, Madras.
Whish pp. 247-9.

(e) Lalitopākhyāna: “Brahmottarakhaṇḍe Hayagrīva-Agastya-saṁvāde Lalitopākhyāne”.
MD. 2514. 9114. 9183. See printed text of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa also for Agastya in the
Lalitopākhyāna.

(f) Agastya-Śaunaka-saṁvāda. MD. 2582.

(g) Agastya-Nārada-saṁvāda in a work called Hiraṇyagarbhasaṁhitā in which occurs a
Rāmanavamīkalpa. MD. 8438.

(h) Agastya-Nārada-saṁvāda, 8 chs. on Gāyatrī. Taylor II. 251. See also PUL. II. App.
p. 55, Gāyatrīviṣaya.

(i) Agastya-Vasu-saṁvāda in the Padmapurāṇa, Uparibhāga. MD. 15379.

(j) Agastya-Rāghava-saṁvāda containing the Śivagītā. MD. 9256.

(k) Skanda-Agastya-saṁvāda in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa of the Skānda.

--Citrakūṭamāhātmya. CPB. 1081. Mack. p. 134.

According to RASB. V. 3208, this Citrakūṭamāhātmya is part of the saṁvāda of Agastya with
sages Śāṇḍilya, Bhusuṇḍi and Sutīkṣṇa, a part of a Śiva-Pārvatī-saṁvāda which
is a part of a Bharata-Ātreya-saṁvāda said to occur in the Ādirāmāyaṇa ascribed to
Vālmīki.

According to Skt. Coll. Ben. 1906, p. 7 (no. 1563), this Citrakūṭamāhātmya occurs in the
ŚāṇḍilyaBhusuṇḍi-saṁvāḍa [Page022-b] in the Bṛhadrāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki.

poet of the Telugu Country, flourished in Kākatīya Pratāparudra's time, A. D. 1292-1323.
Maternal uncle of Viśvanātha, a. of the Saugandhikāharaṇa, K. M. 74, śl. 4.

On the basis of śl. 60 (p. 66. Bālamanoramā edn.) of the
Pratāparudrayaśobhūṣaṇa, some scholars hold that Vidyānātha and Agastya are identical.
See J. Myth. Soc. X. p. 383. For a refutation of this theory, see J. Myth. Soc. XI.
1931. p. 286.

Agastyapaṇḍita is credited with 74 Kāvyas. Gaṅgādevī, pupil of Agastya's nephew,
Viśvanātha, says in her

a grammar ascribed to Agastya ? Burnell 48a. TD. 4712 notices a lexicon which is said to be
