Ref: http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/feb2001/0180.html

The Brahmasuutra-s are clearly pre-Buddhist and pre-jaina. This is in
reference to the above URL and Sri Vishal's excellent post.

However, Srimad Bhagavatam also does not have reference to Buddha and the
jain thiirthankara, King Rishabha. This clearly puts the authorship of
Srimad Bhagavatam much anterior to Gautama Buddha.
