Studies in the History of Sanskrit Poetics v1.c22.5

v1.c22.5

In the concluding portion of his *Parātriṃśikā-vivaraṇa*, Abhinava gives us an interesting personal and genealogical account, in which he tells us that he was the son of Kāśmīraka Cukhala¹ and grandson of Varāhagupta, and had a brother named Manorathagupta. As already stated, Abhinava’s date is easily gathered from his own dating of some of his works, and may be fixed with certainty at the end of the 10th and the beginning of the 11th century.
