A lyric poem of a very artificial character, and consisting of only twenty-two stanzas, is the *Ghaṭa-karpara*, or "Potsherd," called after the author's name, which is worked into the last verse. The date of the poet is unknown. He is mentioned as one of the "nine gems" at the court of the mythical Vikramāditya in the verse already mentioned.
