In doing so it brings his great grandfather Gopala as a fellow-pupil of Bhāravi whom it brings into contact with three kings of South India, namely, Viṣṇuvardhana, the father of Jayasiṃha I of the Cālukyas of Bādāmi; of Durvinīta, among the Gangas who was his own pupil and commented up on the 15th Sarga of the Kirātārjunīya and wrote a Sanskrit version of the Bṛhatkathā and Siṃhaviṣṇu of Kanchi. These details come out clearly from the MS. copy of the prose work \*Avantisundarikathā\*, not the versified \*sāra\* or abridgement, as shown by Pandit Harihara Sastri, Curator of Sanskrit MSS., Trivandram, in a paper presented to the fourth Oriental Conference in Allahabad. - [Previous: c18.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c18.59) - [Next: c19.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.2) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19) ## Linked texts (3) - [Kirātārjunīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.kavya.mahakavya.bharata.kiratarjuniya) — Bhāravi, Sanskrit - [Bṛhatkathā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha) - [Avantisundarīkathā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.novels.prasiddha.avantisundari) — Daṇḍin, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.1) · Pramāṇa
