P. 196, note 208. Bháravi and Kálidása are mentioned together in an inscription of Pulakeśi II., ‘in the Śaka year 507 (A.D. 585–6);’ at that date, therefore, they must have been already famous. See Bháu Dájí in *Journ. Bomb. Br. R. A. S.*, ix. 315, and J. F. Fleet in *Ind. Antiq.*, v. 68.—On the Kashmír poets Chandraka and Meṇṭha, of about the fifth (?) century, Ratnákara of the ninth, Kshemendra and Bilhaṇa of the eleventh, Somadeva, Maṅkha, Kalhaṇa, &c., of the twelfth century, see Bühler, Report of Journey, *l. c.*, p. 42 ff.
