Yes, it is in the public domain, assuming you can find a copy of it online or in a library. His works are from many years ago, if what you say is accurate. Copyright law simply does not apply.

    Can you share the link or point me in some direction? I have created the demo game of ShadYantra Chess and revived this game online. The next challenge is to make the demo game of ShatRanjan which is more complex game which was modified by Chanakya(Kautilya).

  • @ShadYantra My answer has no sources. I merely used logic to answer the legalese in your question as I see it. If I am wrong, please edit your question-especially the title.

  • @ShadYantra Do you perhaps mean this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agastya_Samhita That would give you immediate links. (Wiki mentions no work "Smriti" in the main article about Agastya.)

  • Agastya Samhita is collection of Agasthya and still not complete and other scrolls or manuscripts still are not discovered.
