Who is Virahanka?

Virahanka was an Indian prosodist who is also known for his work on mathematics. He may have lived in the 6th century, but it is also possible that he worked as late as 8th century.

His work on prosody builds on the Chhanda-sutras of Pingala, and was the basis for a 12th-century commentary by Gopala.
