Early History of the Vaishnava Faith and Movement in Bengal, from Sanskrit and Bengali Sources c6.s2.80

refers to Sārvabhauma's Śata-śloka (hundred verses) in praise of Caitanya. So far, a work, entitled Caitanya-dvādaśa-nāma-stotra, by Vāsudeva, is known to exist at Tübingen (Roth's Tübingen Catalogue, p. 10). Jayānanda also says: सार्वभौम करिलेन अष्टोत्तरशतनाम (p. 125). An anonymous Caitanyāṣṭottara-śata-nāma is mentioned in Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1865, p. 139, which list also enters an Advaitāṣṭaka by Sārvabhauma. Sārvabhauma might have also written something on the life of Caitanya, for Jayānanda states: सार्वभौम भट्टाचार्य व्यास अवतार । चैतन्यचरित आगे करिल प्रचार ॥ p. 3. The verses put in Sārvabhauma's mouth in Kavikarṇapūra's Caitanya-candrodaya (vi. 43-44), as well as in his Mahākāvya (xii. 86-87), have been, as tradition alleges, directly taken from his own composition. From what is implied by Karṇapūra and Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja, Sārvabhauma probably spent his last days after Caitanya's passing away, at Benares.
