@ PPCMD: Please provide a decent source for the claim that Rakshasa was a historical person, or that his birth/real name was Kathyayana. Have a look at WP:RS (and WP:HISTRS in particular for history-related articles). The sources that you've added are not WP:RS-compliant. E.g.
Another source cited by you - Hinduism and the Ethics of Warfare in South Asia (p. 62) - explicitly calls Mudrarakshasa a fictional political drama: being based on historical events doesn't make it historically accurate.
Also, please don't delete 'a' at the end of Sanskrit names, as you did here. Have a look at Schwa deletion in Indo-Aryan languages. utcursch | talk 20:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
