Towards close of the 11th and in the first half of the 12th century A.D., also the Jaina Vāgbhaṭa⁴, son of Soma, wrote his Vāgbhaṭālaṅkāra¹ in ślokas (1125-1143 A.D.). A later work is the Kāvyānuśāsana² of Vāgbhaṭa, son of Nemikumāra, in sūtras with his own commentary. The famous Jaina monk and polymath Hemacandra wrote a work on poetics under the title Kāvyānuśāsana³ in sūtras with his own commentary, called Alaṅkāracūḍamaṇi. The commentary contains an extra-ordinarily rich collection of metrical examples in Sanskrit as well as in Prākrit.
