Age of the Veda

>Also, Haksar's translation of Bhasa's plays (Penguin) tells in the front

"Bhaasa has to be older than Kaalidaasa because the
latter mentions Bhaasa as a predecessor in his
Maalavikaagnimitra." according to an Indologist whom I contacted.
However, the so-called Bhasa's plays are possibly 7th century or even
later.
