⁴ Published with commentary in the Km. 35, 1893; translated by H. Jacobi into German, ZDMG 62, 1908. Ruyyaka is the son of Rājānaka Tilaka, author of Udbhaṭaviveka. He was the teacher of Maṅkha or Maṅkhuka. Ruyyaka and Maṅkhuka have a number of common stanzas, but none of them refers to the other by name. In the south Indian manuscripts (see Burnell, Tanjore, p. 54, and Winternitz, South Indian Manuscripts 208) the author of Alaṁkārasarvasva is mentioned as Maṅkhuka. Jacob (JRAS, 1897, 283f.) considers it possible that Ruyyaka was the author of both the sūtras and the commentary. See also Hari Chand a, Kālidāsa, p. 105ff. Ruyyaka is the author also of Sahṛdayalīlā, (published by R. Pischel, Rudraṭa's Śṛṅgāratilaka und Ruyyaka's Sahṛdayalīlā, Kiel 1886, also in Km. Part V, 1888, 157—160), also of Kāvyaprakāśasaṁketa, a commentary on the Kāvyaprakāśa, and of many other works.
