Another play of considerable merit attributed to Çrīharsha is *Nāgānanda*. It is a sensational piece with a Buddhistic colouring, the hero being a Buddhist and Buddha being praised in the introductory benediction. For this reason its author was probably different from that of *Ratnāvalī*, and may have been Dhāvaka, who, like Bāṇa, is known to have lived at the court of Çrīharsha.
