It mentions Vakragrīva as the author of \*Navaśabdavāchya\*; Vajranandi of \*Navastōtra\*; Sumati of \*Sumati-śatakam\*; Chintāmaṇi of the \*Chintāmaṇi\*; Śrīvarddhadēva of the \*Chūḍāmaṇi\*; and Śrīpāla as having expounded the tattva. But the most valuable of its statements is in connection with Śrīvarddha, for in relation to him a couplet is quoted in which Daṇḍi highly praised him as a poet. And as Daṇḍi belongs to the sixth century, this supplies us with a definite period for Śrīvarddha, the author of the \*Chūḍāmaṇi\*. Now, this work is mentioned in Bhaṭṭākaḷanka’s great grammar, the \*Karṇāṭaka-Śabdānuśāsanam\*, as if the finest work in the Kannaḍa language, and it is described as a commentary on the \*Tattvārtha-mahāśāstra\*, containing 96,000 verses. It is also mentioned in TN 105, where it is called a poem, and the author is said to have been named Chūḍāmaṇi from his work, in which he had displayed all the ornaments of composition. In the \*Rājāvali-kathe\* he is styled the Tumbalūr-āchārya, and this place may be the Tombalūr, now commonly known as Dommalūr or Domlūr, immediately to the east of Bangalore; or, more likely, the Tumbala of TN 106-9. - [Previous: c13.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c13.4) - [Next: c13.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c13.6) - [Up: c13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c13) ## Cites (3) - [Karṇāṭakaśabdānuśāsana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.kannada.sastra.karnatakasabdanusasana) — Bhaṭṭākaḷaṅka 1579, Sanskrit - [Rājāvaḷikathe](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.post.kannada.rajavalikathe) — Devacandra 1813, Kannada - [Tattvārthasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.anuyoga.phil.tattva.tattvartha.tattvarthasutra) — Umāsvāti, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c13.5) · Pramāṇa
