He is said, here and in Kl 90, to have been brought into a world of mingled troubles, or placed in a world of endless calamities, like matted pairs of top-knots or twisted top-knots. But he seems to have been a learned and accomplished man, supporter of the fine arts, builder of an ornamental bridge (see Md 113), esteemed as a poet, proficient in logic and philosophy, skilled in all matters connected with the stage and drama, and a special authority on the treatment of elephants and horses. He wrote an important work on elephants, called \*Gajāṣṭakam\*, expounding his system (Nr 35). - [Previous: c8.s5.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s5.36) - [Next: c8.s5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s5.38) - [Up: c8.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c8.s5.37) · Pramāṇa
