This poem contains 180 verses divided into eighteen adhyāyas; nine verses are taken from Bādarāyaṇa.⁸ At about the same time, if the ascription to Śrīpati of Rohiṇikhaṇḍa is valid (the work is also, more obviously falsely, associated with Varāhamihira in 15, 43), there was composed a Daivajñavallabha⁹ in 250 verses divided into fifteen adhyāyas, of which the last is almost entirely derived from Varāhamihira’s yātrā works.¹⁰ - [Previous: c9.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c9.5) - [Next: c9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c9.7) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c9.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c9.6) · Pramāṇa
