v1.c32.32

(5) A commentary on Mahimabhatta’s *Vyaktiviveka*, referred to by Jayaratha as *Vyaktiviveka-vicāra* (p. 13). This has been identified with the anonymous commentary published with Mahimabhatta’s work in the Trivandrum Series; for, although the author’s name does not appear in the published text of that commentary, which is called simply *Vyākhyāna*, the anonymous commentator refers in it to his other works, the *Sāhitya-mīmāmsā* (p. 32) and *Harṣacarita-vārttika* (p. 44, 50), which we know to be two works of Ruyyaka referred to by himself in his *Alaṃkāra-sarvasva* and mentioned by Jayaratha. He refers in this work also to the *Candrikā* (on the *Dhvanyāloka*), *Kāvya-kautuka*, *Hṛdaya-darpaṇa* (pp. 1, 13), and Kuntaka’s *Vakrókti-jīvita* (pp. 16, 32, 36, 44).
