c17.52

*p.14.l.32*—One of the sources of Dallana's comm. is Brahmadeva who may perhaps be identified with Sribrahma, father of Mahesvara—the author of Visvaprakāsa and Sāhasānkacarita. cf. note on p. 16.l.35. Mahesvara's date is 1111 A. D. So Sribrahma may be placed about 1080 A. D.. cf. Hoernle, *JRAS*, 1906, p. 699. Another authority quoted by Dallana is Bhoja who may well be the famous king of Dhara. cf. Hoernle, ibid. p. 286. For the date and works of Dallana cf. Hoernle, ibid., S. N. Dasgupta *HIP* II, p. 434 ff., G. A. Grierson, *JRAS* 1906, pp. 692-3.
