 Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on Agama
In Buddhism, the term 'agama' is used to refer to a class of sutras of the early Buddhist schools, which were preserved in the Mahayana tradition (specifically, in the Sarvastivada, Dharmaguptaka and Mahasanghika schools).
The agamas were translated from their original language to Sanskrit, and were later also converted into a version of Sanskrit that used Chinese characters.
The agamas are commonly compared to the Suttapitaka, and their existence and similarity is sometimes used by scholars to validate the teachings composed in them as a historically authentic representation of the Canon of the First Buddhist Council.

But Sanatan's authorship of both text and its commentary is also recorded by no less an authority than his nephew and associate, Jiva Goswami, in the list he gives of Sanatan's works at the end of his Laghu-Vaishnava-toshani commentary on the Srimad Bhagavatam.
This is also confirmed by Krishna Das Kaviraj, who was a disciple of the Goswamis at Vrindavan, for he makes Chaitanya teach a rapid summary (Madhya 24) of the HBV to Sanatan, with an express command to write a Vaishnava smriti on the basis of the outlines taught.
These testimonies cannot indeed be lightly set aside, but in the text of the HBV itself on the other hand, Gopala Bhatta's authorship is unambiguously declared, and there is nothing to show that the opening verses, which declare it, are spurious.
