ao mention of Guru-siṣya relation between them, as for example we find in the case of Kṛṣṇapăda's Giti (Samkrityayan's Dohākośa, p. 369), wherein he specifically mentions Jālamdhari as his Guru.
These facts clearly point out that Santi was a Rājaputra and that Bhusuka and Śanti were probably different names of the same person.
One point, however can be looked upon as going against such a conclusion. In the Caryāgitikosa, Caryā no. 15 and 26 bear the name of Santi, while Carya no.6, 21, 23, 27, 30, 41, 43 and 49 bear the name of Bhusuka. This would clearly indicate that like other authors of the Caryās Santi and Bhusuka were different Siddhas. In the list of Saraha's Guru-parampară given by Samkrityayan on p. 21 of the Introduction Bhusuka bears the number 41, while Santi is numbered 12. Thus the problem of identification remains unsolved so far.
