P. 231, note ²⁴⁴. The translation of the Sáhitya-darpaṇa in the *Bibl. Indica* is now finished.—For the rich information supplied by Bühler regarding the Alaṃkára literature in Kashmír, see his Report of Journey, p. 64 ff. According to this, the Alaṃkára-śástra of Bhaṭṭa Udbhaṭa dates from the time of Jayápíḍa (779–813), whose *sabhápati* the author was. Vámana, too, in Bühler's opinion, belongs to the same period. Ánandavardhana and Ratnákara belong to the ninth century, Mukula to the tenth, Abhinavagupta to the beginning, Rudraṭa to the end, of the eleventh, while Ruyyaka flourished at the commencement, and Jayaratha at the close, of the twelfth century; Mammaṭa is to be placed still later.
