¹ Falsely ascribed to Rudraṭa (see above p. 22, note 4) by Pischel in his edition of the text (see the above remark). The text has been published also in the Km. Part III, 111-152. [Rudra and Rudraṭa are considered identical by some scholars, but different persons by others. Kane, HSP, p. 147 ff. has discussed the question and expressed the opinion that “there are very weighty grounds for holding that the two are distinct authors”. Cf. Buhler, Kashmir Report p. 67), Aufrecht (ZDMG, 36, p. 376), Pischel (ZDMG 42, 1888, p. 296) on the one hand and Jacobi WZKM 1888, II (p. 151 ff. and ZMDG 42, p. 425 ff.) and Hari Chanda, Kālidāsa p. 91 ff. on the other. “Rudraṭa is a son of Vāmuka and is also called Śatānanda” (Keith, HSL, p. 384, note.)]
