94. Śrīnivāsa Dīksita

v1.c66.s3.1

a. *Alaṃkāra-kaustubha* (Aufrecht i 31b) b. *Kāvya-darpaṇa* (Rice 282) c. *Kāvya-sāra-saṃgraha* (Aufrecht i 102b; SCC vii 19) d. *Sāhitya-sūkṣma-saraṇi* (Rice 244).

v1.c66.s3.2

This author may be identical with Ratnakheṭa Śrīnivāsa, father of Rājacūḍāmaṇi Dīkṣita (q.v.). If this were so, then the *Kāvya-darpaṇa* above is the work of his son bearing the same title (see above p. 321), mistakenly entered here in most catalogues. He is cited by Veṅkaṭācārya (q.v.). As the first verse of the third work shows, it is in three parts (1) kāvya-lakṣaṇa-saṃgraha (2) varṇa-saṃgraha and (2) subhāṣita-saṃgraha. It quotes the *Kāvya-prakāśa*.

95. SĀMARĀJA DĪKSITA

v1.c66.s3.4

*Śṛṅgārāmṛta-laharī*

v1.c66.s3.5

(ed. Kāvyamālā pt. 14; Aufrecht i 661b, ii 158a, 230b, iii 137b; *Madras Cat.* 12961).

v1.c66.s3.6

The author, also called Śyāmarāja, was the son of Narahari Bindupurandara, and wrote also *Tripura-sundarī-mānasa-pūjana-stotra* (ed. Kāvyamālā pt. 9) and other poems. He lived in Mathurā, where his descendants still flourish, at the latter part of the 17th century. His son Kāmarāja, whose *Śṛṅgāra-kalikā-kāvya* is published in Kāvyamālā pt. 14, was also a poet; while his grandson Vrajarāja and his great-grandson Jīvarāja wrote commentaries on the *Rasa-mañjarī* and *Rasa-taraṅgiṇī* of Bhānudatta respectively (q.v.). The present work deals with rasa, especially śṛṅgāra, after Bhānudatta. Our author wrote his drama *Śrīdāma carita* in 1681 A.D. for the Bundela-prince Ānandarāya. Kāmarāja also appears to have written a *Kāvyéndu-prakāśa*, which is apparently the same work as entered anonymously in Bhandarkar, *Rep.* 1887-91, no. 601.

v1.c66.s3.7

96. SUKHADEVA MIŚRA

v1.c66.s3.8

*Śṛṅgāra-latā* (Aufrecht i 661a).

v1.c66.s3.9

A bhāṣā-work, called *Rasārṇava*, by Sukhadeva is mentioned in Peterson iv no. 770 (App. p. 29).

v1.c66.s3.10

97. SUKHALĀLA

v1.c66.s3.11

*Alaṃkāra-mañjarī* (Afl 213).

v1.c66.s3.12

The author, pupil of Gaṅgeśa Miśra and his son Hariprasāda (q.v.), professes to follow the *kārikās* of Jayadeva. Aufrecht thinks he must have flourished about 1740 A.D. The work begins with *upamā* and takes up *rūpaka*, *pariṇāma*, *smṛtimān*, *bhrāntimān*, *sandeha*, *utprekṣā*, where the MS breaks off. A *kāvya* called *Śṛṅgāra-mālā*, composed in 1745, by Sukhalāla, son of Bāburāya Miśra, is entered in Stein 75.

v1.c66.s3.13

98. SUDHĀKARA PUṆḌARĪKA YĀJIN

v1.c66.s3.14

*Śṛṅgāra-sāródadhi* (Aufrecht iii 137b).

v1.c66.s3.15

99. SUDHĪNDRA YOGIN

v1.c66.s3.16

*Alaṃkāra-nikaṣa* (Madras Cat. 12676, extract).

v1.c66.s3.17

It is a short work on *arthālaṃkāra*. The colophon gives the author's name as above; but in the work it is said that the author, following the views of ancient and modern authorities on the subject, deals with and illustrates the *arthālaṃkāras* by means of examples eulogising the virtues of Sudhīndra Yogin who is made out to be a follower of the Mādhava sect. He is probably the same as Sudhīndra Yati, pupil of Vijayendra Yati, who wrote the *Mādhu-dhārā* commentary on Trimalla Bhaṭṭa's (q.v.) *Alaṃkāra-mañjarī* (Burnell 57a). The *Alaṃkāra-nikaṣa* by Sudhendra in Oppert 4797 is probably this work. A drama called *Subhadrā-pariṇaya* is attributed to Sudhindra Yati in *Madras Cat.* xxi no. 12729 and a drama called *Subhadrā-dhanañjaya* to Vijayendra Yati in *ibid* no. 12728.

v1.c66.s3.18

100. SUNDARA MIŚRA

v1.c66.s3.19

*Nāṭya-pradīpa* (Aufrecht i 284b, 791a).

v1.c66.s3.20

The work is dated in 1613 A.D. It cited by Rāghavabhaṭṭa on *Śakuntalā* (ed. N. S. P. 1886, p. 6). This work repeats *verbatim* a large portion of the *Daśarūpaka* (see pref. to Hall's ed.). In the work itself the *Sāhitya-darpaṇa* is referred to. The author is probably the same as Sundara Miśra who wrote the *Abhirāma-maṇi-nāṭaka* in 7 acts in 1599 A. D. (*Bod* 137b- 138a; Kielhorn *Central Prov.* p. 68 : Wilson ii p. 395).

v1.c66.s3.21

101. SOMANĀRYA

v1.c66.s3.22

*Nāṭya-cūḍāmaṇi* (*Madras Cat.* 12998, with Telegu commentary).

v1.c66.s3.23

This is a work on mimic, dancing and music. The author is described as one famous for *aṣṭāvadhāna* (attention to eight things at a time).

v1.c66.s3.24

102. HARIDĀSA

v1.c66.s3.25

*Prastāva-ratnākara* (Weber 827 ; Aufrecht i 360a, ii 212a iii 77a).

v1.c66.s3.26

The author was the son of Puruṣottama of the Karaṇa family, and the work is a metrical compilation dealing with *kūṭa*, *samasyā* and enigmatic composition in general, as well as miscellaneous subjects including *nīti*, *jyotiṣa* etc. It was compiled in 1557 A.D

v1.c66.s3.27

103. HARIPRASĀDA

v1.c66.s3.28

a. *Kāvyārtha-gumpha* (Aufrecht ii 20b) b. *Kāvyāloka* (Aufrecht i 103a, extract in Peterson iii p. 356-7).

v1.c66.s3.29

The second work in seven *prakāśas* is dated in *samvat* 1734 = 1728 A.D. A MS of the first work bears the date 1775 which is possibly the date also of its composition. He is also the author of a work on *ācāra* (*māsādi-nirūpaṇa*), see Peterson iv p. cxxxvii. One *Kāvyāloka* is cited by Appayya in his *Citra-mīmāṃsā*; but this must have been an earlier work. The *Kāvyāloka* cited by Kumārasvāmin p. 73 refers the *Dhvanyāloka* (p. 221), and is not, as supposed by Haricānd Śāstrī (p. 27, no. 234) a reference to the present work. The author was the son of Māthura Miśra Gaṅgeśa.

v1.c66.s3.30

104. HARIHARA

v1.c66.s3.31

a. *Śṛṅgāra-bheda-pradīpa* (Burnell 59a) b. *Bindvalaṃkāra*, cited in the *Ekāvalī* p. 242.

v1.c66.s3.32

One Harihara is referred to in the *Ekāvalī* p. 19 as having received amazing wealth from king Arjuna, who is suppesed by Bhandarkar and Trivedi (see above p. 227) to be identical with Arjunavarman of Mālava, whose earliest and latest known dates are 1211 and 1216 A.D. If this Harihara be our author, then his date will be the first quarter of the 13th century.

v1.c66.s3.33

105. HALADHARA RATHA

v1.c66.s3.34

*Kāvya-tattva-vicāra* (H. P. Śāstrī's Report, 1895-1900, p. 16).
