⁴ According to Rājātaraṅgiṇī, 5, 204, where about this king it has been said that on account of his hatred for science he shunned important people. It was on account of this that a poet like Bhallaṭa lived in poverty. Verses written by him have been quoted under Aucityālaṅkāra in the Kāvyaprakāśa and in anthologies, see Peterson, JBRAS, 16, 167 ff. and Subh. 75 ff.; Aufrecht, ZDMG, 41, 488. The fact that a verse written by Ānandavardhana is found in our Bhallaṭaśataka shows that in this collection too stanzas written by other poets occur; see Jacobi ZDMG, 56, 1902, 405.
