He was a member of the royal council of Avantivarmā who ruled Kashmir during the period 854-884 A.D. It is believed that he wrote Dhvanyāloka in 850 A.D. Many commentaries have been written of Dhvanyāloka of which the one written by Abhinavagupta is considered to be the best. - [Previous: c4.1321](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1321) - [Next: c4.1323](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1323) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1322](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1322) · Pramāṇa
