Studies in the History of Sanskrit Poetics v1.c62.4

v1.c62.4

The author, a Guzerat Brahmin, was the son of Nāhanābhai and a native of Rāner, (Rānder near Surat) and lived at Uraḥpattana (probably Olpāḍ in the same district). The work deals with poetic figures alone, and the illustrations sing the glory of the Peswas Mādhava Rāo I and his uncle Raghu-nātha Rāo (1791-1768 A.D.). The author, therefore, belongs to the third and fourth quarters of the 18th century.
