Of other mythological subjects we have the *Harakelīnāṭaka*⁹ of the Cāhamāna king Visaladeva Vigraharāja, of whom we have an inscription of A.D. 1163, and whose work is partially preserved on stone. The *Pārvatīpariṇaya*¹⁰ of Vāmana Bhaṭṭa Bāṇa, who wrote about A.D. 1400 under the Reḍḍi prince Vema of Koṇḍaviḍu, owes its fame to its being mistaken for a work of Bāṇa. The *Haragaurīvivāha*¹¹ of Jagajjyotirmalla of Nepal (1617–33) is interesting, because it is rather an opera than a play and the vernacular verses are its only fixed element, but this is not likely to be a primitive feature.
