Kashiram Das Kashiram das (কাশীরাম দাস, born 16th century) is an important poet in medieval Bengali literature. His Bengali re-telling of the "Mahabharata", known as "Kashidasi Mahabharat", is a popular and influential version of the "Mahabharata" legend in Bengal. Although the entire work is intra-textually ascribed to him, most scholars agree that he composed only the first four of the eighteen books ("parvas"). As with the "Ramayana" of Krittibas Ojha, Kashiram freely removed elements and added other legends to the story. "Das" is not a last name, but a title meaning "servant" in the Vaishnava tradition; the name is also written as Kashiramdas.

Vagbhata Vāgbhata (वाग्भट) is one of the most influential classical writers of ayurveda. Several works are associated with his name as author, principally the Ashtāṅgasaṅgraha (अष्टाङ्गसंग्रह) and the Ashtāngahridayasaṃhitā (अष्टाङ्गहृदयसंहिता). The best current research, however, argues in detail that these two works cannot be the product of a single author. Indeed, the whole question of the relationship of these two works, and their authorship, is very difficult and still far from solution. Both works make frequent reference to the earlier classical works, the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita. Vāgbhata is said, in the closing verses of the "Ashtānga sangraha", to have lived in Sind (today in Pakistan), and to have been the son of Simhagupta and pupil of Avalokita. He was a Buddhist, as is shown by his explicit praise for the Buddha by name at the start of the "Ashtāngasangraha", and his praise of the Buddha under the title "Unprecedented Teacher" in the opening verse of the "Ashtānga hridayasamhitā." His work contains syncretic elements.

Gunadhya Guṇāḍhya is the Sanskrit name of the sixth-century Indian author of the "Brihatkatha", a large collection of tales attested by Daṇḍin, the author of the "Kavyadarsha", Subandhu, the author of "Vasavadatta", and Bāṇabhaṭṭa, the author of the "Kadambari". Scholars compare Guṇāḍhya with Vyasa and Valmiki even though he did not write the now long-lost "Brihatkatha" in Sanskrit; the loss of this text is one of the greatest losses of Indian literature. Presently available are its two Kashmiri Sanskrit recensions, the "Brihatkathamanjari" by Kshemendra and the "Kathasaritsagara" by Somadeva.

Whereas much of Buddhist literature prior to the time of Aśvaghoṣa had been composed in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, Aśvaghoṣa wrote in Classical Sanskrit.
