The *Saṃgītaratnākara* of Sāraṅgadeva is a work on music composed in the court of Siṃhaṇa. It is an interesting book showing a wide acquaintance with the music of both south and north. The *Sūktimuktāvali*, an anthology of Sanskrit verse, was composed in the Yādava court in A.D. 1258. In the introduction it is stated that it was composed by Jahlana, a commander of the elephant squadrons of King Kṛṣṇa. But its colophon expressly declares that it was compiled by the physician Bhānu for Jahlana, who was probably his patron.²
