v1.c55.s3.22

The author was the son of Vāsudeva and grandson of Kālahastīśvara who was a native of Brahmadeśa, a village in the North Arcot District, and the writer of a commentary on the *Bhāgavata*. His grandfather had two other sons, named Nārāyaṇa and Kṛṣṇa, his father being the second son. The work consists of three chapters dealing with the *rasas*, viz. (1) *śṛṅgāra* (2) the other 8 *rasas* (3) *bhāva-nirūpaṇa*. The illustrations are in praise of the valour of Bommarāja (probably of the Karvetnagar zamindary in North Arcot).
