⁴ *ratnākarābhyantarato gṛhītvālaṃkāra-sūtrāṇi yathākrameṇa | bandīva devyā girirāja-putryāḥ karomi śaṃsaṃ śruti-gocarāṇi.* The commentary on this verse explains *śrī-trayīśvara-mitrātmaja-śrī-śobhākaramitra-viracite'laṃkāra-ratnākare'laṃkāra-sūtrāṇi.* The colophon to Bühler's MS of the *Alaṃkāra-ratnākara* reads *trayīśvara-mantra-putrasya* as a description of Śobhākaramitra, in which the word *mantra* is obviously a mistake for *mitra*. Stein's Jammu MS 58 reads Śobhākaramitra as the name of the author (cf also *WBod* ii 62).
