Indian social scientist Radhakamal Mukerjee assigned the book's publication date to the time after the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu text (c. 500–400 BCE).. The Ashtavakra Gita was written much later, according to L. Brockington, emeritus professor of Sanskrit at the University of Edinburgh. He believes it was either composed in the seventh century CE by an Adi Shankara disciple or in the fourteenth century amid a revival of Shankara's doctrine. Because the idea of non-creation Ajata Vada, which Gaudapada later articulated in Mandookya Karika, has its roots in this book, according to Sri Swami Shantananda Puri, it predates both Shankara and Gaudapada (6th century CE).
