The reign of the earlier king Lakshmanasena was remarkable for considerable literary activity and for his liberal patronage of Sanskrit literature. An imitation of Kālidāsa's *Meghadūta* by Dhoyi, or Dhoyīka, court-poet of Lakshmanasena, has been published. Jayadeva, the famous author of the *Gītagovinda*, seems to have lived in the reign of Lakshmanasena, who wrote verses himself. His father, Ballāl Sen, also was an author.
