The popularity of the *Kāvya-mīmāṃsā* with the later writers is indicated by the extensive use made of it by Kṣemendra, Bhoja, Hemacandra and the younger Vāgbhaṭa. Hemacandra, for instance, has literally copied long passages from chs. viii, ix, xiii-xviii; while Vāgbhaṭa has borrowed the same (as well as other) portions either directly from the same source or indirectly through Hemacandra¹.
