25. Ghāsi Or Ghāsī Rāma Paṇḍita

v1.c56.1

a. *Rasa-candra* (IOC 295).

v1.c56.2

b. *Rasa-kaumudī* (Madras Cat. 12921, extract).

v1.c56.3

The first work was composed in 1696 A.D. The latter work describes the nine *rasas*. Rāmapaṇḍita’s *Rasa-kaumudī* in Peterson v 414 refers apparently to this work. The *Rasa-candra* is in 4 chapters, dealing with 1. *nāyikā-gaṇa-bheda* (198 *śl*) 2. *nāyaka-saṃgha* (85 *śl*) 3. *anubhāvādi-gaṇa* (150 *śl*) 4. *rasa* (162 *śl*). Is this Ghāsīrāma identical with Ghāsīrāma Bhaṭṭa, father Śrīnātha who wrote the medical work *Jagat-prakāśa* (Stein pp. 193, 348)? He, however, appears to be the same as wrote the *Padya-muktāvalī* (erotic verses).
