The present author edited 286 verses from the Rājamārtanḍa (containing 1462 verses) on tithis, vratas and utsavas in *ABORI* vol. 36, parts III-IV, 1956, pp. 306-339,). It describes several vratas and utsavas like Indradhvajotthāpana and the work is about 75 years older than the Kalpataru. The Kalpataru is studiously silent as regards Bhoja, though it mentions Kāmadhenu, Govindarāja, Prakāśa and Halāyudha and it hardly anywhere mentions the vratas described by the Rājamārtanḍa. The Mitākṣarā does mention Dhāreśvara Bhoja. Probably Laksmīdhara did not like that a comparison should be instituted between his treatment of vratas and Bhoja's.
