Some texts also refer to Nagnajit as an authority on temple architecture or medicine.
[9] According to Ghosh, he was a Vedic period king who was also an exponent of the Gandhara school of art.
Ghosh identifies Nagnajit's instructors Parvata and Narada as the sages associated with the Rigveda hymns 8.12 and 8.13.
[10] Gustav Roth theorizes that Nagnajit was a king of Gandhara, an authority on shilpa shastra (arts and crafts), and possibly a wrestling champion as suggested by his name (Roth interprets the Sanskrit name nagna-jit as "an athlete beating a naked opponent").
[11] Ajay Mitra Shastri (1991) disputes Ghosh's theory on various grounds.
