54. Bhāva Miśra Or Miśra Bhāva

v1.c65.s6.1

*Śṛṅgāra-sarasī*

v1.c65.s6.2

(Aufrecht i 661a, ii 158a, 230b ; *SCC* vii 43, extract).

v1.c65.s6.3

The author of this treatise on amorous sentiments is described as the son of Miśra Bhaṭaka.

v1.c65.s6.4

55. BHĪMASENA DĪKSITA a. *Alamkāra-sāródhāra* b. *Alamkāra-sāra-sthiti* or *Kuvalayánanda-khandana*.

v1.c65.s6.5

He refers to both these works in his *Sudhā-sāgara* commentary oy Mammaṭa (see p. 183-4). For the latter work see Aufrecht ii 23a.

v1.c65.s6.6

56. BHĪMEŚVARA BHAṬṬA, son of Raṅgabhaṭṭa *Rasa-sarvasva* (Burnell 57a).

v1.c65.s6.7

57. BHŪDEVA ŚUKLA *Rasa-vilāsa* (Aufrecht i 496b, ii 116b, iii 106a).

v1.c65.s6.8

The author, son of Śukhadeva, belongs to the 16th century. For his other works, see Aufrecht i 414b. The India Office MS of the present work contains only 3 *stavakas* and the beginning of a 4th. Our author is the same as Bhūdeva Śukla who wrote the drama *Dharma-vijaya*, see Mitra i p. 37; Weber 1561: *IOC* vii p. 1596 (ed. Granthamālā iii 1889).

v1.c65.s6.9

58. MĀNASIMHA *Sāhitya-sāra* (Aufrecht i 716a).

v1.c65.s6.10

59. MOHANADĀSA *Rasódadhi*

v1.c65.s6.11

The work is cited by himself in his commentary on the *Mahānāṭaka* (*ABod* 143a). The author was the son of Kamalāpati.

v1.c65.s6.12

60. YAJÑEŚVARA DĪKṢITA

v1.c65.s6.13

a. *Alaṃkāra-rāghava* (Aufrecht i 32a) b. *Alaṃkāra-sūryódaya* (Aufrecht i 32b) c. *Sāhitya-ratnākara* (Aufrecht ii 171a).

v1.c65.s6.14

The author was the son of Carakāri (Cerukūri) Koṇḍu Bhaṭṭa, and probably a nephew of Lakṣmīdhara (q. v.)¹. He may be identical with Yajñeśvara already mentioned as a commentator on Mammaṭa (see p. 188) The first-named work is so called from the circumstance that the examples all refer to Rāma.

v1.c65.s6.15

¹ See *ŚgŚ* ii p. 65.

v1.c65.s6.16

61. YAŚASVIN KAVI

v1.c65.s6.17

*Sāhitya-kautūhala* and its commentary *Ujjvala-padā* (Aufrecht i 715b, ii 171a).

v1.c65.s6.18

The author is described as the son of Gopāla and Kāśī. The India Office MS (*Cat.* iii p. 337) was copied in 1730 A.D., and contains only the first chapter which deals with enigmatology and *citra-kāvya*.

v1.c65.s6.19

62. RATNABHŪSAṆA

v1.c65.s6.20

*Kāvya-kaumudī* (*HPS* ii no. 35, extract).

v1.c65.s6.21

This work in 10 *paricchedas* is apparently a very modern composition by a Vaidya Pandit of East Bengal. It deals with (1) nāma (2) liṅgādi (3) dhātu-pratyaya (4) kāvya-lakṣaṇa (5) dhvani (6) guṇībhūta-vyaṅgya (7) guṇa (8) and (9) alaṃkāra (10) doṣa, the first three chapters being devoted to grammar. The date *śaka* 1781 (= 1859 A.D.) may be the date of its composition (*HPS ibid* preface p. viii).

v1.c65.s6.22

63. RAVIGUPTA ĀCĀRYA

v1.c65.s6.23

*Loka-saṃvyavahāra* (Aufrecht i 546a).

v1.c65.s6.24

A poet of this name, with the title *bhadanta*, wrote a *Candraprabhā-vijaya*¹. He is cited in the *Paddhati* of Śārṅgadhara (237, 351, 384) and the *Subhāṣitāvali* of Vallabha², as well as by Yaśodhara on Vātsyāyana (I. 3. 16).

v1.c65.s6.25

v1.c65.s6.26

² See introd. pp. 99-100.

v1.c65.s6.27

64. RĀGHAVA CAITANYA

v1.c65.s6.28

*Kavi-kalpalatā* (Aufrecht i 87a).

v1.c65.s6.29

Possibly the poet of the same name cited in the *Paddhati* as Rāghavacaitanya Śrīcaraṇa (71, 168, 877, 1557-8), which title apparently indicates that he was a well-known Vaiṣṇava. Is this the Kavikalpalatā-kāra quoted by Keśava Miśra (see above p. 262f)? In the colophon to the codex containing Deveśvara's *Kavi-kalpalatā* in *SCC* vii no. 7 (cf. *ABod* 211b), the reading is *māgha-caitanya-viracita-kavi-kalpalatāyāḥ* etc. This may be a corruption of or mistake for the name Rāghavacaitanya, whose work may have got mixed up with that of Deveśvara himself.

v1.c65.s6.30

65. RĀJACŪḌĀMAṆI DĪKṢITA

v1.c65.s6.31

a. *Kāvya-darpaṇa* (Aufrecht i 101a, ii 19b, 193b, iii 22b; *Madras Trm A* 191; *Madras Cat.* 12809-814, with the commentary of Ravi-paṇḍita).

v1.c65.s6.32

b. *Alaṃkāra-cūḍāmaṇi* cited in his *Kāvya-darpaṇa* (*Madras Cat.* 12809), or *Alaṃ-* kāra-śiromaṇi (Hultzsch i extract p. 86). MS in Rice 280 (anonymous).

v1.c65.s6.33

The author, who is a well-known South Indian poet, was the son of Satyamangala Ratnakheṭa Śrīnivāsa Dīkṣita and Kāmākṣī, and step-brother of Keśava Dīkṣita and Śeṣādriśekhara Dīkṣita. He was the grandson of Bhāvasvāmin and Lakṣmī, and great-grandson of Kṛṣṇabhaṭṭa Dīkṣita, and pupil of Ardhanārīśvara Dīkṣita who was his brother (Hultzsch ii p. x). His genealogy and a long list of his other works are given in the concluding verses of his *Kāvya-darpaṇa*¹ and in his *Ānanda-rāghava*². The *Kāvya-darpaṇa* in ten *ullāsas*, as well as his other work on Poetics, deals with the poetic figures. The family to which he belonged was known as *atirātra yājin*. Śrīnivāsa Atirātrayājin in Aufrecht i 672a is identical with Rājacūḍāmaṇi’s father. He lived in Sūrasamudra in Toṇḍira (between Tanjore and Madura). Cf Sten Konow, *Ind. Drama* p. 94. For his other works see Aufrecht ii 117b, Hultzsch i pp. ix-x. His *Kamalinī-kalahaṃsa* and *Śaṅkarābhyudaya* have been published by Śrīvāṇivilāsa Press.

v1.c65.s6.36

66. RĀMA ŚARMAN or RĀMA KAVI *Nāyikā-varṇana* in 49 stanzas (*Madras Cat.* 12901).

v1.c65.s6.37

67. RĀMACANDRA *Nāṭaka-dārpaṇa* (Peterson v p. 188). This work is apparently cited by Ranganātha on *Vikramōrvaśī* and Bharatamallika on Bhaṭṭi. It is in four *vivekas*, dealing with Dramaturgy. The author is conjectured to be the one-eyed pupil of Jaina Hemacandra¹. He also wrote a drama called *Raghu-vilāsa*² or *Raghu-vilāpa*³ where he mentions four other works by himself.

68. RĀMACANDRA NYĀYAVĀGĪŚA

v1.c65.s6.42

*Kāvya-candrikā* (Aufrecht i 101a, 778b), with commentary called *Alaṃkāra-mañjūṣā* (ed. Comilla 1885; Dacca 1886 with commentary of Jagabandhu Tarkavāgīśa; Bombay 1912, with commentary *Alaṃkāra-mañjūṣā*).

v1.c65.s6.43

A Bengal writer described as the son of Vidyānidhi (?). Is he identical with Nyāyavāgīśa Bhaṭṭācārya, author of the *Kāvya-mañjarī* commentary on the *Kuvalayānanda* (see p. 273)?

v1.c65.s6.44

69. RĀMA SUBRAHMAṆYA

v1.c65.s6.45

*Alaṃkāra-śāstra-saṃgraha* (Hultzsch 1562).

v1.c65.s6.46

70. LAKSMĪDHARA DĪKSITA

v1.c65.s6.47

a. *Alaṃkāra-muktāvalī* (Aufrecht i 32a) b. *Rasa-mañjarī*, cited by himself in his commentary on the *Gīta-govinda*.

v1.c65.s6.48

The author was the son of Yajñeśvara and Sarvāmbikā (or Ambikāmbā), grandson of Timmaya Somayājin, and brother and pupil of Koṇḍubhaṭṭa. He bore the surname of Dakṣiṇāmūrti-kiṅkara. His family came from Cerukūru on the Kṛṣṇā river, which Hultzsch thinks to be identical with modern Peddacerukūru near Bāpaṭla. He is identical with Lakṣmīdhara, author of the Prakrit grammar Ṣaḍbhāṣācandrikā, and also wrote commentaries on the Anargharāghava, Prasanna-rāghava and Gīta-govinda. In the first of these commentaries it is said that after having led the life of a householder for a long time, he travelled to different countries and conquered all literary opponents, and then having renounced the cares of the world he became a sannyāsin or yati with the name Rāmānanda or Rāmānandāśrama, under a guru called Kṛṣṇāśrama. Lakṣmīdhara (who is also sometimes called Lakṣmaṇabhaṭṭa or Lakṣmaṇa Sūri) was patronised by Tirumalarāja, probably Tirumala I of the Vijayanagar dynasty¹, to whom his Śruti-rañjanī commentary on Jayadeva's Gīta-govinda is sometimes attributed².
