S. P., 1909; the same translated into German by R. Schmidt, Berlin 1907. This enumeration is not exhaustive, as the work has been printed very often in India as a text-book Our references are to the N. S. P. ed. of 1913 by Vāsudeva, which contains also Vaidyanātha's Alaṃkāra-candrikā.

v1.c51.s2.2

MSS. Aufrecht i 113a, 780a ii 22b, 194b; iii 25a. The entry *Kuvalayānanda-kārikā* refers to our text (the *kārikā* portion only) which is the subject of Āśādhara's commentary.

v1.c51.s2.3

SCC vii 25-7; WBod 1161; KBod 505; Madras Trm A 192, B 510; WRAS 109, 127; Madras Cat. 12846-12860.

v1.c51.s2.4

Commentaries. (1) *Alaṃkāra-candrikā* of Vaidyanātha Tatsat (see above). Published many times with the text. MSS: Aufrecht i 113a, 780a; ii 23a, 194b; iii 25a; SCC vii 1, 29; Madras Cat. 12862-67. Mitra (in *Bik. Cat.* p. 213, no. 607) gives an entirely wrong impression of this work as well as of its original.

v1.c51.s2.5

(2) *Alaṃkāra-dīpikā* by Āśādhara. Printed by N. S. P. as above. MSS: Aufrecht i 113a, 780a; ii 23a. Āśādhara only comments on the *kārikās*, but he is not aware of Jayadeva's *Candrāloka*. Āśādhara also wrote *Kovidānanda* and its commentary (Aufrecht ii 25b). He should not be confused with Āśādhara who wrote a commentary on Rudraṭa (cf Aufrecht i 54b and ii 10b).

v1.c51.s2.6

(3) *Rasika-rañjanī* by Gaṅgādharadhvarin or Gaṅgādhara Vājapeyin. Printed from Kumbhakonum as above. MSS: Aufrecht i 113a (the attribution to Appayya himself is wrong, as corrected later), ii 22b: *Madras Trm A* 73, B 388, C 703; *Madras Cat.* 12868-70. This commentator describes Appayya as *asmat-pitāmaha-sahodara-deśikendra*; but according to tradition the commentator lived under the Tanjore prince Śhāhajī (1684-1711 A.D.). Also wrote some comms. on philosophical works.

v1.c51.s2.7

(4) *Alaṃkāra-sudhā* by Nāgoji Bhaṭṭa. Aufrecht i 113a (i.e. citing Kielhorn *Central Prov. Cat.* p. 98 and not p. 104), ii 23a. Nāgoji is also said to have written another commentary on *Kuvalayānanda* called *Saṭpadānanda*, or in full *Viṣamapada-vyākhyāna ṣaṭpadānanda*, Aufrecht i 113a, ii 23a, SCC viii 28. As its name indicates, the latter commentary probably deals only with difficult words and passages. The two commentaries are often confused. In this last commentary, Nāgoji refers to his *Marma-prakāśa* on Jagannātha's work. Extracts of both in Stein pp. 270-271.

v1.c51.s2.8

(5) *Kāvya-mañjarī* by Nyāyavāgīśa Bhaṭṭācārya (?). Aufrecht i 113a. Is he identical with Rāmacandra Nyāyavāgīśa, son of Vidyānidhi (q.v.) and author of the *Kāvya-candrikā*?

v1.c51.s2.9

(6) Comm. by Mathurānātha. Aufrecht i 113a. See pp. 239-40.

v1.c51.s2.10

(7) *ṭippaṇa* by Kuravirāma referred to in the introductory verse of his comm. on the *Viśvaguṇādarśa*, Hultzsch i extr. p. 57, no. 21. For the author see above p. 135. As Veṅkaṭadhvarin, author of the *Viśvaguṇādarśa*, is known to be a grandson of Appayya's, Kuravirāma, who commented on this poem, could not have been earlier than the middle of the 17th century.

v1.c51.s2.11

(8) *Laghvalaṃkāra-candrikā* by Devidatta. SCB 830.

v1.c51.s2.12

(9) *Budharañjanī* by Veṅgala Sūri. *Madras Trm. A* 1215: *Madras Cat.* 12874-75. This is really a comm. on the arthālaṃkāra-section of *Candrāloka*, coextensive with the text of Appayya's *Kuvalayānanda*.
