The \*Śṛiṅgāraprakāśa\* by Bhoja throws additional light on the point quoting passages from the \*Devīchandraguptam\* (see \*Aiyangar Com. Vol.\*, 359 ff; also Lévi, \*J. A.\*, 1923, 201 ff; \*Devīchandraguptam\* by A. Rangaswami Sarasvati, \*Ind. Ant.\*, 1923, p. 181 ff.) The last mentioned work is a play by Viśākhadatta, the author of the \*Mudrārākshasa\*. Quotations from the \*Devīchandraguptam\* are also found in the \*Nāṭya darpaṇa\* of Rāmachandra and Guṇachandra. - [Previous: c19.s3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.30) - [Next: c19.s4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s4.1) - [Up: c19.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3) ## Linked texts (2) - [Devīcandragupta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.rajacarita.devicandragupta) — Viśākhadatta, Sanskrit - [Nāṭyadarpaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.natya.natyadarpana) — Rāmacandrasūri & Guṇacandra, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.31) · Pramāṇa
